* Wash your hands, household furniture, and kitchen utensils with warm water and soap water, either after preparing or eating your food.
* Separate raw food, especially meat, from fast food.
* Cook food with cooked, especially meat, with a minimum temperature of 71 degrees Celsius.
* Keep perishable food in the refrigerator or freezer with good storage techniques.
* Avoid juices, dairy products, and unpasteurized apple drink.
