Hygiene is very important in our daily life. If it is not taken seriously, it could easily harm you. This is because without safety measures, an optimum environment for bacteria growth is created. Most bacteria grow easily within temperatures between 5°C to 60°C, and especially so in neutral pH, as long as moisture is available. Hence, it's important that we take meticulous care of our personal hygiene, especially the things we eat and use.

In this blog, we are going to talk about the safety measures and dangers associated with our delicious steaks. Raw beef is one of the foods that contains most bacteria, as it has ample water activity of 0.96. Thus, bacteria are able to multiply rapidly. To retard bacteria growth, refrigerating the meat in cling wrap is highly recommended. Also, only take the beef out when it is needed for cooking. This way, contact with bacteria in outside air is minimal, and the beef is less likely to get contaminated.
