Food poisoning is a foodborne disease which can easily be contacted by touching or serving contaminated foods or drinks and also putting food in containers exposed to germs, it can also be contacted by exposing food to flies to infest.

In some cases, the outcome of taking this contaminated food or drinks might end up leaving a person with a mild problem and on other occasions severe problems such as having an Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection can be contacted.

In other to prevent food poisoning we must ensure that the following are being put into consideration:
