  • Make sure your barbecue and cooking tools have been cleaned with soap and water before using.

  • Have separate utensils, plates and other equipment for raw and cooked foods – using just one set will mean you transfer pathogens from raw meats to cooked foods.

  • Don’t place or prepare raw meat on the grill next to cooked or partially cooked meat or other ready-to-eat foods.

  • Precook chicken, sausages and minced meat, then barbecue until meat is steaming hot (over 75 degrees Celsius) all the way through.

  • Turn food regularly so that it cooks evenly.
