If you touch any surfaces after washing your hands, they may become dirty again and contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. Maintaining proper hygiene is effective in preventing cross-contamination of food:

• During food preparation, avoid touching your nose, mouth, hair and skin.

• Do not pick your nose.

• Do not bite your nails and lick your fingers. 

• Do not smoke in food premises.    

• Do not cough or sneeze over food. Wash hands after coughing or sneezing.

• Avoid eating in food preparation areas. 

• Do not spit.     

• It is better to use a spoon to take a small amount of food into a small dish for tasting. If tasting directly from a spoon, do not reuse it to prevent contamination of food. Avoid long conservation while preparing food.
