Food Safety

How to wash your hands

The best way to prevent food poisoning is to wash your hands properly. But while we may think we are careful enough, research shows that many people’s hands are still far from clean, even after they feel they’ve washed them properly.

HEALTHY EATING

Starchy foods

Starchy foods like cereal, breads, potatoes, pasta and rice are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are a good source of fibre and are the best energy providers for your body. High-fibre versions are best: they keep your gut healthy and will keep you going for longer between meals.

"Not only are avocados delicious, they are also very nutritious and are a great source of healthy fats. Don't forget to store the rest of your avocado in the fridge and use within 3 days"
