Danger Alert #4: Restaurants

Number 4 in my series, The Places Germs Go: Restaurants. Even those fancy ones are not immune to germs, you know. So read on…

Danger Alert: Improperly washed hands can easily taint food with fecal matter. Raw or undercooked dishes are also a source of wide range of bacteria. Furthermore, a careless kitchen worker can contaminate your cooked food if he handles raw ingredients and then touches your dinner plate or freshly baked rolls.

Germ-buster: Avoid raw or undercooked food when ordering for kids, and always order their meat well done. Fried chicken may be a kiddie favorite, but send it back if it’s pink at the center.
