Don’t swallow the myth!

Australian Food Safety Week runs 8-15 November 2025, and this year we’re busting common food safety myths that can put your health at risk.

❌ “Food poisoning is only a minor illness”
❌ “Only wash your hands after ”
❌ “Wash raw poultry before cooking”
❌ “Dropped food is okay to eat up to five seconds”
❌ “It was the last thing I ate”

Follow along this week as we share daily stories to bust these myths and keep your food safe!
