Food safety tips
- Always wash your hands, work surfaces, utensils and chopping boards before you start preparing food and after handling raw meat, including poultry.
- Keep raw meat away from ready-to-eat foods such as salad, fruit and bread.
- Make sure that the chicken is cooked until steaming hot all the way through, no pink meat is left and any juices run clear.
