  Prevention of food poisoning starts with your trip to the supermarket. Here is how to start safely. 1. Pick up your packaged and canned foods first. Buy cans and jars that look perfect. Do not buy canned goods that are dented, cracked or bulging. These are the warning signs that dangerous bacteria may be growing in the can. 2.

  Look for any expiration date on the labels and never buy outdated food. Similarly, check the "use" or "sell by" date on dairy products like cheese, cream cheese, yogurt and sour cream and choosing those that will stay fresh longer in your refrigerator. 3. Check eggs, too. Choose eggs that are refrigerated in the store. Before putting in your car, open the box and make sure the eggs are clean and not cracked or broken. 4. Raw meat, poultry, and seafood sometimes drip.

  The juices that drip may have germs. Keep these juices away from other foods. Place raw meat, poultry, fish and seafood in plastic bags before entering the car. Separate raw meat, poultry, fish and seafood from other foods in your shopping cart and in your refrigerator. 5. Do not buy frozen seafood if the packages are open, torn or crushed on the edges. Avoid packages that are above the frost line in the freezer of the shop. If the lid is transparent, look for signs of frost or ice crystals. This could mean that the fish has not been stored for a long time or thawed and refrozen. 6. Check the cleanliness of the meat or fish and the fight against the salad bar. For example, cooked shrimp lying on the bed of ice as raw fish could become contaminated. 7. When shopping for shellfish, buy in markets that are supplied from sources approved by the state, stay away from vendors who sell shellfish from roadside stands or the back of a truck. And if you're planning to harvest your own shellfish, pay attention to warning signs about water safety. 8. Milk collection, frozen foods, and perishables (meat, poultry, fish) last. Always put these products in separate plastic bags so that drippings do not contaminate other foods in your shopping cart. 9. Immediately drive home from the grocery store. This will give you less food cold or frozen to warm up before you get home. If the destination is farther than 30 minutes, take a cooler with ice or frozen gel commercial perishables home and place him. 10. Save hot chicken and other hot food to go, too. This will give them less time to calm down before you get home. Terry Nicholls My Home-Based Business Advisor Copyright e by Terry Nicholls. All rights reserved.
