To keep your family safe from the potential health hazard of food contamination, it is important to properly store and handle food. Keep food stored in containers that are sealed properly and ensure they are refrigerated promptly after purchase. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any food, as well as all surfaces and utensils used to prepare food. Also, use separate cutting boards for raw meat and other objects to avoid cross-contamination. Regularly check expiration dates and discard any food items that have been exposed to unsafe temperatures for extended periods of time. Lastly, be sure to cook all meat products thoroughly in order to avoid any exposure to harmful bacteria or pathogens.

Following an investigation into the food contamination, you should take these precautions to ensure the safety of your family: 1) Dispose of any affected food items or containers; 2) Clean and sanitize anything that might have come into contact with the tainted food; 3) Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer after coming into contact with contaminated surfaces; 4) Contact your local health department to report any cases of potential food poisoning. Additionally, make sure that you are storing all perishable foods at proper temperatures - heated above 140 degrees Fahrenheit or cooled below 40 degrees Fahrenheit - so as to prevent additional cases of contamination. Finally, be sure to always wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consuming.
