You have to face the fact that the kitchen is a
place where infections and diseases spread easily. Bacteria can be
anywhere in the kitchen.
Prevent the spread of infection in the kitchen:
Therefore,
you should wash your hands and clean surfaces before you start
preparing food. Bacteria are easily transferred from one surface to
another without you even realizing it.
If these bacteria enter food, it will cause intestinal diseases, etc.
Now let's find together the sources that cause pollution:
The first one that is very common is hand-to-hand contact or hand-to-food contact.
Most of the bacteria that cause food-borne diseases, such as colds, flu, etc., are spread in this way.
Raw meat, poultry and fish all contain harmful bacteria. One of the most important bacteria found in these foods is E. coli.
We can see this organism more often in half-cooked hamburgers. According to the CDC (centers for disease control and prevention), it is the most common cause of foodborne illness. This bacterium causes a syndrome in children
Cloth towels (clean cloth)
Cloth towels
like sponges are the most contaminated in the kitchen. Probably all of
you have used cloth towels several times to clean the kitchen counter
while preparing food. You must have used the same towel to dry your
hands.
Research shows that salmonella bacteria grow on cloths left overnight
Mobile phone or tablet
Anything you touch while preparing raw meat may be touched. Mobile phones or tablets are usually used a lot when preparing raw meat.
Therefore, another device that is very prone to contamination is smartphones.
Sink, refrigerator, oven handle, trash cans
Have you ever disinfected your sink
faucets, oven handles, and trash cans? When you are preparing food, you
should be aware that there is bacteria in the food and you can transfer
it to the surfaces you have touched.
E. coli can live for a few hours / Salmonella can live for about 4 hours / Hepatitis can live for months.
These numbers definitely make you nervous, so by disinfecting the surfaces you can make sure that there are no bacteria.
Bio-organic disinfectant and biobased logic germ
Cooking utensils
There
are many dishes in the kitchen that you should know how to use. Food
containers must be sterilized with hot water and dishwashing liquid or
disinfectant before use. Before you put them in the cabinet, you should
make sure that they are completely air-dried.
Fruits and vegetables
Bacteria
are found in your favorite fruits and vegetables. If you do not pay
attention to disinfecting fruits and vegetables, the bacteria inside
them will cause diarrhea and vomiting.
Cleaning and disinfection
Many people think that if something is clean, then it is completely safe. A kitchen may be clean but it can contain microorganisms that are very dangerous and pathogenic
Cleaning and disinfection are
two very different issues. By cleaning the remaining food fats, you
remove dirt and... But this cleaning causes the bacteria to spread
around.
In disinfection, living organisms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites are destroyed.
Disinfectants
are available in several forms. Liquid, spray or wipes. Keep in mind
that you must clean carefully before disinfecting, because the
disinfectant's performance will decrease if fats accumulate.
You must clean thoroughly before disinfecting. Food or grease build-up does not allow the disinfectant to pass through.
There are several ways to dry dishes in the kitchen
- drying the dishes with a towel (it is the least effective)
- Drying dishes with paper towels
- Air drying
- Drying by dishwasher
- Sterilization in the dishwasher (very effective)
