Summer Food Safety Tips
Each year about 200, 000 New Zealanders become sick with foodborne illness, with almost half these cases due to mishandling food in the home. Summer, in particular, is a time when many of these illnesses surface as temperatures soar and food preparation shifts from the kitchen to backyard barbeques and picnic areas.
CPH Health Protection Officers Sue McEwan and Debbie Smith look at how to enjoy al fresco dining without the risk of illness in this handy fact sheet.
