Food safety has brought the lens to where food is processed – in the kitchen.
Food safety ultimately boils down to the source of food – the kitchen; where food is prepared, processed and packaged.
Experts suggest cleaning the stove after every meal with a mix of soap or detergent and water.
To combat the risk of contamination in food, it is advisable to take the necessary precautions by cleaning your vegetables properly before they are consumed.
Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal explains, “In the current scenario, we often opt for healthier eating habits, use of superfoods and addition of more greens to our diet but take the most fundamental step of cleaning our produce rather lightly. I believe in using a product that is scientifically proven and certified by Indian labs and international bodies. Veggie Clean from Marico is a specialized fruits & vegetables cleanser which is made with 100% naturally derived ingredients and is proven to remove 99.9% germs, pesticides and waxes from the surface.”
Marico’s Veggie Clean is 100% safe to use & is certified by Indian & International experts.
Blenders, mixers, refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, grills, toasters and more – whatever equipment is used in the kitchen must be spotlessly clean as a thumb rule.
The microwave specially can often become messy and dirty, and must be cleaned often with a cleaning solution.
Experts suggest using a vinegar and water based cleaner for the same.
The idea is to keep the kitchen neat and clean at all times.
