Are they clean? No obvious sign of dirt, but what about germs? Just because you can't see germs doesn't mean they aren't there. Germs are all around us. While most of them are harmless some can make us sick, especially if we let them hitch a ride onto the food we eat.

Everything you touch is capable of transferring germs onto your hands - especially dirty items, sores, pets, bathroom fixtures and used handkerchiefs and tissues. Therefore, it's paramount you wash you hands well before touching and eating food.
