- Cutting boards and keeping raw food apartKeep one board for raw meat and another for produce, wash boards in hot soapy water after use, and replace one that is deeply scarred.
- Freezing and defrosting food at homeFreeze at minus 18 degrees Celsius, thaw in the fridge, and cool leftovers within two hours. Rules from UK and Canadian food safety agencies.
