Food poisoning can really knock you for a loop. One moment you are eating your favourite delicacies and within hours, you get sick. It’s a bad experience and nobody wants to fall prey to it. Also Read - 5 uncommon factors that triggers your asthma

Eating outside food is the only cause of food poisoning is a myth. But even home-cooked meals can be dangerous at times. Also Read - 5 odd causes that can trigger asthma

Here is our understanding on why we believe only outside food can cause food poisoning and home cooked food can t:

Belief 1: Contaminated Water

You are not sure of the source of water that your favourite chat vendor uses when he makes those delicious panipuris.

Thus we believe that outside food can cause food poisoning as we always use clean water from the water purifier at home.

Belief 2: Stale Ingredients

Yes, stale ingredients affect our health.

And an outside food vendor for sure will be using leftover vegetables from previous day s preparation, which can surely cause food poisoning.

But at home we always use fresh ingredients. Not only that, we always choose the best and superior quality ingredients.

Belief 3: Contamination of food by pests like cockroaches

Unhygienic cooking condition attracts cockroaches, they enter into the kitchen from dirty drains and contaminate food with harmful germs and bacteria, leading to food poisoning.

But at home, unlike restaurants, we clean our kitchen every day. Also, we ensure that the kitchen is not infested with cockroaches and we believe that one or two hiding in the kitchen do not pose any serious threat.

But did you know that it takes only one cockroach in your kitchen to spread food poisoning!

While you keep food covered or in the fridge, cockroaches enter your kitchen through dirty drains, crawl all over your utensils (plates, mugs, cups, microwave oven tray), depositing harmful bacteria and germs. These contaminated utensils then contaminate the food as well and you can get food poisoning.

Check this website to understand more in detail about how cockroaches cause food poisoning.

We take a lot of care to keep our kitchen hygienic — we mop it every day, ensure that we don t keep unwashed utensils overnight, discard any stale ingredients etc. But one thing missing in our routine is to keep our kitchen free from roaches by eliminating them periodically.

Cockroaches hiding in the kitchen pose a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of our family.

Hence, it is important to use cockroach spray like Lal HIT, which can kill every hidden cockroach with the help of its deep reach nozzle. Spray Lal HIT once a week in places where cockroaches tend to hide, like sink duct, around the drainage area, gas cylinder and keep your kitchens free of disease spreading cockroaches.

Don t let the cockroaches contaminate your food, let s make Lal HIT part of our kitchen cleaning routine and #SayNoToFoodPoisoning.
