Food Safety Tips

Keep your Mob safe from food poisoning by following these four simple steps! 

Keep it clean

  • Before you eat or touch your food, wash your hands, food preparation tools and the surfaces you’re preparing food on.

 Cook it right

  • Cook foods, especially meat and chicken until the juices run clear and the food is steaming hot.

 Keep it chill

  • Put any food that needs to keep cold in the fridge right away.
  • Throw out cooked food that has been sitting at room temperature for more than two hours.
  • Defrost and marinate food in the fridge, particularly meat.

 Check the label

  • Avoid eating food past it’s use by date.
  • Follow storage and cooking instructions
  • Ask for information about foods without packaging
