What is food poisoning, and how can I avoid it?

Food poisoning is a serious disease, with symptoms including vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. For information on safe, hygienic food preparation and storage, please see food hygiene in the home, which is located in the Health and social care section. If you work with food in a professional capacity you will also need a qualification in food hygiene.
