Follow these suggestions before beginning food preparation: • Make sure work surfaces are cleaned and sanitized prior to use. Foods contaminated by germs in your kitchen could make someone sick. Contact your local health department for instructions on sanitizing. • Remove all poisonous items such as insecticides, detergents, cleaners, polishes, etc. from preparation area to prevent accidental contamination. • Refrain from preparing or handling food items for sale if you are suffering from a cold or any other infections such as skin rashes on your hands or arms, infected cuts, burns, boils, etc. Your illness can easily be spread through food to other people. • Exercise extra care with good hygienic practices.
