'Bugs' and 'germs' are the common name for the harmful organisms such as bacteria and viruses that cause food poisoning.
Therefore good personal hygiene is important to help control the spread of harmful germs
Germs can get into our food at any point in the food chain, from the time when an animal or food is in the field, to the moment food is put on to the table to eat.
If they are allowed to survive and multiply they can cause illness when that food is eaten.
Being mindful of issues around personal hygiene, especially in the kitchen, when handling and preparing food, can eliminate the risk of causing food poisoning.
Washing your hands is the most important thing to remember when preparing food in your kitchen.
