Food Hygiene
[2005-11-09]

Oh God. People think other people are morons. I was just trawling the internet to try and find out if ready made custard is safe during pregnancy, when I happened across this article. I shall copy and paste the most ridiculous bits.

� Avoid products that are mouldy, strangely coloured, or infested with insects

� Always use clean utensils (e.g. knives, spoons) when preparing foods; use hot soapy water or a dishwasher to wash dishes

� Use separate sponges or cloths for the dishes and the floor

I'm so impressed. If I hadn't read that I may have eaten a piece of raw chicken covered in maggots, using dirty cutlery, from off of a plate washed with a sponge I had just used to clean the floor.

That was a close call.
