- Wash your hands often, especially before and after handling food.
- Keep food preparation areas clean and free of dirt and pests.
- Cook food to the proper temperature and time.
- Refrigerate food promptly after cooking.
- Do not eat food that has been left out at room temperature for more than two hours.
