food hygiene
Safe meal preparation
Food hygiene is the set of practices that keep food safe to eat—proper storage, handling, preparation, and cooking to prevent contamination and foodborne illness.
The term appears in health regulations, restaurant inspections, and public health campaigns: All kitchen staff must complete food hygiene training.
It encompasses everything from handwashing to temperature control to preventing cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods.
