Fresh fruit and vegetables are an important and delicious part of a nutritious diet. Just like other foods, fresh fruit and vegetables can contain harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness (food poisoning). Follow these simple tips to reduce your risk of exposure and ensure your fruit and veg are safe to eat:

✔️ avoid purchasing damaged (e.g. where the skin is broken) or mouldy fruit and vegetables when shopping
✔️ wash fresh fruit and vegetables under running water before eating
✔️ use separate chopping boards and knives for raw and ready-to-eat food
✔️ store cooked food separately from raw food.
