(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 24, 2016 ) Houston, TX -- Food poisoning is a health issue caused by eating food or drinking beverages that contain germs such as toxin-producing bacteria and viruses.
Health experts say that poor cleaning and sanitizing of kitchen utensils is one of the causes of food poisoning. By way of utensils and other kitchen accessories, germs that cause food poisoning can spread in the kitchen. This process is referred to as cross-contamination. The best way to avoid food poisoning is to ensure the maintenance of high standards with regards to personal and food hygiene when storing, handling and preparing food.
Harmful bacteria and viruses can be prevented from spreading by maintaining good personal hygiene and keeping work surfaces and utensils clean. Before handling food, it is best to wash hands with soap and warm water. Also, wash cooking utensils before and thoroughly after using them.
Another way of preventing food poisoning is to cook food meticulously to kill any harmful bacteria that may be present. Certain foods also need to be refrigerated to avoid multiplication of destructive microbes.
Silicone based products contain material that is non-absorbent and easy to clean. These are properties that Smart Chef, makers of the silicone spoon rest, state makes silicone kitchen utensils an attractive option particularly as it relates to food poisoning and the mechanism involved with its spread.
