Food safety practices to reduce the risk of food poisoning

Standards are set in the UK to ensure that all food during production, manufacture, transportation and retail are safe to eat throughout the food chain.

The consumer is the final link of the food chain. Consequently, as the consumer it is essential that you ensure food is safe when shopping, storing, defrosting, cleaning, preparing, cooking and when dealing with leftover food at home and when eating out. This is particularly the case during chemotherapy treatment.
