Food safety tips
Always wash your hands, work surfaces, utensils and chopping boards before you start and after handling raw meat, including poultry. Keep raw poultry away from ready-to-eat foods such as salad, fruit and bread. Make sure that the chicken is cooked until steaming hot all the way through, that no pink meat is left and that any juices run clear.
Wash or peel raw vegetables before use, this will help clean them and remove any harmful bacteria that might be on the outside. Any leftovers should be cooled within one to two hours and placed in the fridge (for up to two days) or frozen.
When reheating, always make sure that the dish is steaming hot all the way through before serving. Never re-heat food more than once. Cook the rice as required and use immediately, or cool within one hour, refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
