Unsafe food is a massive burden on our health—but the solutions are right in our kitchens. Let’s move from #𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗧𝗼𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 to #𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 by keeping Sharmaine safe with these simple food safety habits:

🧼 𝗛𝘂𝗴𝗮𝘀-𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗻: Wash fresh fruits thoroughly under clean, running water before peeling or slicing.

🤚 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁: Wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds before handling any food.

🥩 𝗜𝗵𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗶 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲: Avoid cross-contamination. Keep fresh fruits separate from raw meat, poultry, or seafood.
