Sometimes food prepared in the home has been taken somewhere else to be eaten, such as the village hall, community centre, or social club where the function is being held. What should have been a happy occasion for everyone can turn out to be just the opposite for some.
Food poisoning is a miserable and potentially dangerous experience.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your food does not make the guests ill. If it does, you run the risk of spoiling the function and alienating your friends. You also need to take extra care with people coming to the party who are specially vulnerable, for example, young children, pregnant women, the elderly and anyone who is ill. This information is directed at people handling or preparing food at home for family or friends. A very wide range of foods can cause food poisoning if not handled properly.
