GENERAL AWARENESS : Food Safety

After a very recent controversy over a famous instant noodles I'd like to bring something to everyone's notice it's a "well ignored " matter which is food safety.


• There are some very important things one must do while buying food items such as : 

》Always check the expiry date
》Always see if the package is sealed and clean.
》Most things that go on sale or offers such as buy 1 get 1 free are the products close to expiry so please make sure you check the expiry date and use them prior to its expiry.
》If you are well educated read the nutrient bar mentioned In packing understand what you buying only then bring it home.

• It's important how you store the food
》Frozen food must remain frozen till the day you decide to consume it, do not consume frozen food if it was left outside for a long period of time.
》Always store your food in a proper container or zip lock bag and refrigerate it if necessary this prevents bacteria or fungus from growing. Do not leave any food open anywhere.

• General advice :
》 Never consume water kept in a plastic bottle under the sun for a lengthy period of time.
》Avoid instant or so called ready made food as much as you can.
》 Always wash the vegetables /Fruits / Meat products before consuming them.
》If you consume tap water it is very important to boil that water before consuming this helps get rid of any possible bacteria in the water.
》 Never heat milk in the oven it is very unhealthy when done so.
》 Never consume food after its expiry date.
》Over usage of sanitizers is not advisable.
》 Keep all food items covered at night.
》 Always pack or store food separately do not mix items.
》 Make it a habit to heat food before eating.
》 Clean your refrigerator at least twice a month as well as your oven.

Remember food safety is equally important in having a good health. Please be aware of the items you eat or drink. Do not just see the price tag make sure you see the entire package.
