Don't handle food if you have stomach problems, such as diarrhoea
or vomiting, or if you're sneezing or coughing regularly.
Check food labels before you decide what to use.Shop-bought foods
may come with two dates:a use-by date and a best before date.
Don’t use any foods that have passed their use-by date, even if you
think they look fine, as they may not be safe to eat.

Teachers’ notes read and teach the learner the safe storage instructions
on food. If you store food in the wrong place or at the wrong
temperature, it can lead to the growth of bacteria. Proper storage of food
reduces the risk of food poisoning. Follow these tips to ensure your food
is safe to eat.
Always check labels for guidance on where to store food.
Store fresh and frozen food in the fridge or freezer as soon as
possible after you buy it. This is especially important in hot weather.
Keep raw meat and seafood separate from other foods.
Store raw meat in an airtight container at the bottomof the fridge to
prevent juices or blood dripping onto otherfood.
Defrost frozen foods in the fridge. Place them on a plate or in a
container as they defrost,so they don't drip onto or contaminate
other foods.
Don't store opened tins of food in the fridge – transfer the contents
to a suitable airtight container instead.
If you’re keeping cooked leftovers, allow them to cool to room
temperature before you store them in the fridge. Make sure you use
up any leftovers within two days.
Throw away any food that has passed its use-by date.
Store food such as bread or biscuits in an airtight containerto slow
down the growth of bacteria or mould.

8. Read the following case study.
The Snugro family lives in Pretoria. In summer, the
days can get very hot and today was one of those days.
At about 2 o’clock, Mrs Snugro decided that the
family should have a braai so that she did not have to
stand in the kitchen and cook in such hot weather.
She checked the fridge to see what food she had for
the braai. She found some tomatoes, cucumber and a
lettuce that she had bought about two weeks before.
One or two of the tomatoes had a bit of furry stuff
around the top and the lettuce was a bit limp. Nothing smelt funny so she
thought it would be okay to use the ingredients in a salad. She took out a
chopping board and cut the ingredients.Then, she put them into a salad bowl
and put the salad on the patio table. She checked the freezer and found some
steak and chicken for the braai. She removed both packets of meat and placed
them in a dish on the sunny patio table so that they could defrost.
She opened a tin of baked beans and some sweet corn. She put half of each tin
into some serving bowls and stored the tins in the fridge – the children could
have the rest for lunch the following day.
Mrs Snugro then remembered that there was no charcoal for the braai. She
hopped into her car and went to the shop.While she was there, she also bought
some milk, eggs and bread.
When she got home, she took the bread and charcoal inside with her but decided
to fetch the milk and eggs later. She called Mr Snugro, who had been working
in the garden, to help her with preparing for the braai. When he came in, he
wiped his hands on his pants and started to slice the bread and butterit. He put
the bread onto a plate and put it on the patio table along with the other food.
The steak and chicken were defrosted, so he took them to his wife in the
kitchen. She poured the water lying in the bottomof the dish into the sink and
then used the vegetable knife to chop the steakand chicken into smaller
portions.She put the pieces back into the bowl and gave the meat to her
husband to cook on the braai.
When the meat was ready, Mrs Snugro called the children, who had been
playing with the dog, to the patio table to eat. The children wanted something to
drink. Mrs Snugro sent her husband to fetch the milk from the car and she then
poured a glass of milk for each of the children.
The Snugro family enjoyed a lovely braai.
Later on that evening, the children complained that they had stomach ache. Mrs
Snugro didn’t feel too well either and her husband seemed to have diarrhoea.
She couldn’t understand why everyone was feeling sick.
