Question

List any two factors affecting the safety of food at home.

Answer 1

Hey there,

Following are the two measures in order to keep the food safe from contamination;

1. Usage of washed utensils: It is very important to wash every utensil you used before touching the food. It may carry some excretions of animals or disease prone dust particles which may get mixed with food and ingested by you.
2. Cover the food: Do not forget to cover the food when it is resting. Any thing can get mixed with it. Specially flies and other flying insects may cause it to become infected and end up causing you illness.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks

There are several factors that affect the food hygiene during the preparation and afterwards. For example:

- During preparation, usage of pots and utensils are the biggest factor that affects the food quality, and then comes the food ingredients used. Low quality ingredients affects the taste and also not healthy enough to be eaten.

- When the food is prepared, how well you preserved or stored it affects it quality and cleanliness as well.

- Third comes the duration of its storage. How long the food is stored affects its quality and taste as well.
