FOOD SAFETY

Keeping food safe in your fridge

Keeping food chilled in the fridge slows down the growth of bacteria. Between 5°C and 63°C is called ‘the danger zone’, where bacteria on food can grow to a point where they can make you ill.

HEALTHY EATING

Salt

Too much salt can raise your blood pressure and high blood pressure is a leading cause of stroke and heart disease.

"Swapping salt for freshly ground black pepper or herbs and spices is a great way to shake the salt habit"
