Snacking isnt that big of a problem but not washing your hands before eating can easily transfer bacteria on your hands to the food. Personal hygiene is very important in food safety, you should wash your hand properly before or after preparation and eating.

Store Cooked Foods In Fridge 

You may think that placed cook food on the table with a cover or container are totally safe. The fact is: Cooked food should not be left our of refrigeration for more than 1 hours. 


Regarding to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the temperature range between 5'c to 60'c is known as Temperature Danger Zone where germs can grows most quickly and easily, and the food can become unsafe to eat.


Bacteria multiply by split in two. Under the right condition their double their number every 10 to 30 minutes, means that we would have over 2 million bacteria in 7 hours if we let cooked food sit at room temperature!  




Refrigerator is one of the important equipment to keep foods safe
