Health Minister Issues 13 Food Safety Tips for Summer
The Ministry of Public Health in Qatar has outlined a set of important guidelines to maintain food safety during the summer season, aiming to prevent food contamination. These guidelines include proper food preparation through thorough handwashing, separating raw and cooked foods, thawing frozen products in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature, and avoiding food preparation when feeling ill with symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea. They also recommend storing refrigerated foods at 4°C (39°F) or lower, not leaving food outside the refrigerator for more than two hours, and not refreezing thawed food. Additionally, the Ministry emphasizes the importance of ordering food from licensed restaurants, ensuring that food packaging is secure, storing leftovers in the refrigerator if not consumed immediately, and reheating food thoroughly before consumption when necessary. These measures are essential to ensure the safety and health of consumers during the summer months.
