Question

why do we need to follow the principles and practices of hygiene in preparing salads and salad dressing??

Answer 1

• Purchase the supplies (salad ingredients) from reputable suppliers

• There should be proper handling of the
ingredients

• A high standard of personal and good hygiene must be maintained at all times

• There must be a separation of raw and high- risk food at all stages of the preparation
especially that salads may sometime include
meat and other dairy products

• There must be an effective storage. The
temperature required in storing salads and
dressings must be observed.

In general, food sanitation must be observed in any food preparation. This will not only preserve food but will also give satisfaction and safety to its consumers.
