Response to Last Posting Regarding Dirty Kitchens

Thanks Mick, for your response to our posting regarding the above. I will only publish comments that include links that do not conflict with either my business or my ethics! But to be fair, Mick made a very valid comment and here it is...without the link:

"it's unbelievable. Everyone in catering should have a basic food hygiene, and they're all available dirt cheap and online, so there's just no excuse."

My additional comment is that the study was carried out in the HOME, not just in catering environments! It's important that everyone at work AND home, protect themselves and their family (particularly the young and the elderly, who are most at risk). You only have to look at TV programmes like Kim & Aggie's How Clean is Your House? to see the kind of squalor that people live in!

I know that most of my readers don't live in this kind of squalor... how? Mainly because most of our readers have probably met me personally, either at a seminar or in some cases, your own home.

However it doesn't need to be the kind of squalor that gets you on TV to be a hazard to your health. Good health should be your most prized possession. Without it, the quality of your live can deteriorate and, in some cases, stop you from doing the things you really enjoy doing. So take the time now to look at your own kitchen hygiene practices, and make some adjustments now.
