  Bacteria from the Covid-19 pandemic have infiltrated the food supply, and they could be in your fridge right now. To stay safe, you should make sure that your food is properly cleaned and disinfected.
  The Covid-19 pandemic has made its way into refrigerators when people fail to clean their food properly. This is because people can't afford the time or the resources required to wash their produce. In order to prevent this epidemic from spreading further, people need to disinfect their refrigerators with solutions like Vinegar or bleach.
  Why Disinfecting Your Groceries Is Important?
  When it comes to food safety, there are a few things that you should always be mindful of. This includes the importance of keeping your groceries clean and free from germs.
  This is why grocery shopping is a little more complicated than it should be. Disinfecting your groceries is not just about removing the germs from your food but also making sure that they don't spread to other items in the store or even to the customers who handle them.
  How to clean your groceries Correctly.
  When you go grocery shopping, you end up with a pile of dirty bags one way or the other. It is always good to know what items are okay to toss in the trash and which ones need to be put in some sort of container for later use.
  Here are some simple steps that will help you clean your groceries correctly:
  -Reach for an old toothbrush and scrub your produce, fruit, and vegetables before putting them into a bag. This will remove any dirt or mold that might have accumulated on them.
  -Fold a small dish towel in half lengthwise and then place it inside your produce bag while still wet so that the product doesn't make contact with other items. You can also use a paper towel if you're going for speed.
  Before you stock up your grocery cart for the new week, make sure your food is fully clean.
  There are a few ways to clean your groceries. If you're at the store, you can use a water bottle to spray the produce and packaged and canned goods before putting them in your shopping cart. You can also use a spray bottle filled with warm water and lemon juice to disinfect everything. For more thorough cleaning, fill a small bowl with bleach or hydrogen peroxide for large surfaces like counters and floors.
  How to Disinfect Your Groceries Safely
  The key to safe food is always keeping it as fresh as possible. By practicing a few simple practices, you can ensure that your food has not been exposed to harmful bacteria.
  Wash hands before and after handling raw meat and poultry (Hands are the most common way of transmitting bacterial infections)
  Wash all produce under running water for at least 10 seconds — chlorine kills most bacteria
  Use a clean spoon for each type of food to avoid cross-contamination
  Remove any loose pieces from produce before eating it
  Do not use cleaning products with bleach on ready-to-eat foods or in the refrigerator (It can damage the integrity of other foods)
  4 Ways to Keep Your Food Safe and Sound During Pandemic
  While the pandemic may not be here yet, it is important to know what you should do for your family and loved ones.
  1. Make sure that you have plenty of water available.
  2. Keep your food stored in airtight containers in a cool, dark place.
  3. Keep extra water on hand to wash fruits and vegetables before they are eaten or cooked, and store them in a fridge or freezer if possible.
  4. If you're going to be away from home for an extended period of time, get family members and friends to take care of your houseplants while you're gone by asking them to water them every day if possible; otherwise, put them outside on the porch or patio, so they can still get sun and nutrients from the air while they are out.
  Many people are worried about the spread of the flu. When the pandemic reaches its peak, it is essential to maintain safety in your home and grocery stores. One way to do this is by disinfecting your groceries before you buy them.
  If you don't want to take the risk of potentially getting sick from contaminated food, make sure that you disinfect all your groceries before you buy them. You can use hot water, bleach, or a mixture of both for this process.
