Learn how to reduce your chances of food-borne illness by following these easy instructions.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Sealable containers
Antibacterial soap
Vinegar
Lemon juice
Cutting boards
A meat thermometer

Step 1: Check the dates before purchasing

Check the dates on food products before purchasing them, and check them again before cooking. One spoiled item can harbor millions of harmful bacteria.

Step 2: Store food properly

Separate meat, fruit and vegetables for storage, and discard any food that looks or smells questionable. Always store meat, poultry, and seafood in sealed containers.

Step 3: Use antibacterial soap

Wash your hands with antibacterial soap and hot water frequently, especially after handling raw meat.

Step 4: Rinse produce

Rinse produce in a solution of one part vinegar or lemon juice and three parts water, even if you're going to peel it.

Tip: Don't use soap, detergents or special cleaners on produce.

Step 5: Use caution when preparing foods

Don't use the same cutting board for meats and vegetables unless you thoroughly wash it between uses. Disinfect dishes, cutting boards and counters with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item.

Tip: Use only a non-porous cutting board and sanitize your food preparation area frequently with a bleach-based cleaning product and a bar rag.

Step 6: Cook foods safely

Use a meat thermometer to ensure that meats are cooked thoroughly, and wash the probe each time you check the temperature.

Tip: Most meat thermometers come with a safe-temperature cooking guide.

Step 7: Serve

Serve food on clean plates. Never use the container or utensils that held the raw product.

Step 8: Refrigerate leftovers

Refrigerate or freeze leftovers within two hours of cooking.

@hfdpayner not true...dehydration caused by vomiting/diarrhea can be deadly (especially in 3rd world countries where access to water if often limited and disease rate is high)
