(4)Hotpot Safety at Restaurants
In winter time, hotpot is a popular choice when we dine out with friends. With a great variety of hotpot ingredients, consumers can choose whatever they like to eat. However, if hotpot ingredients are not handled properly or cooked thoroughly, we will ingest not only food but also viruses or bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
When enjoying hotpot at restaurants, we should apply 5 Keys to Food Safety (i.e. Choose, Clean, Separate, Cook and Safe Temperature) from selection of a restaurant to handling and cooking of food in order to ensure food safety.
