Food Safety and Dining Out
|
|
Going out to eat? When choosing a restaurant, look for one that keeps food safety on the menu. Here are tips from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to help you stay healthy while dining out.
- Check inspection scores. Check a restaurant’s score at your health department's website, ask the health department for a copy of the report, or look for it when you get to the restaurant.
- Look for certificates that show kitchen managers have completed food safety training. Proper food safety training can help improve practices that reduce the chance of spreading foodborne germs and illnesses.
- Look for safe food-handling practices.
- Sick food workers can spread their illness to customers. Most kitchens are out of the customer’s sight, but if you can see food being prepared, check to make sure workers are using gloves or utensils to handle foods that will not be cooked further, such as deli meats and salad greens.
- Order food that’s properly cooked. Certain foods, including meat, poultry, and fish, need to be cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful germs that may be present. If you’re served undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs, send them back to be cooked until they are safe to eat.
