Firing up the BBQ? No more cutting into meat to see if it’s cooked. Use a meat thermometer - take the meat off the heat, check the thickest part and once it hits 75°C, it’s safe and you’re sorted 🙂

Over 24 hours is how long food poisoning bacteria can survive on your phone screen 😲

But in our recent survey only 26%* of people say they wash their hands before and after touching their phone when cooking.

This increases the risk of harmful bacteria spreading in your kitchen.

Clean as you go to stop food poisoning bacteria before they spread 🧼

Yet only 36%* of people in our survey knew their dishcloth should be changed every 2 days - or immediately after wiping up raw meat or vegetables juices.
