From April 15 to May 15, 2025, the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) joined the Action Month for Food Safety campaign under the theme: \u201cEnsuring Food Safety with a focus on collective kitchens, catering services, and street food\u201d. This campaign aims to raise awareness about making responsible choices in selecting, preparing, and consuming food. Food safety is not only about daily eating habits, but also an essential part of living a healthy life and building a sustainable and safe learning environment.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neglecting food safety comes with serious risks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With hectic schedules of studying and working, we often resort to eating quickly or grabbing food on the go. However, these rushed meals can pose significant health risks if the food isn\u2019t safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the World Health Organization (WHO)<\/a>, each year around 600 million people (nearly 1 in 10 globally) get sick from unsafe food. Around 420,000 deaths are recorded, mostly among children and young people. In Vietnam, data from the Vietnam Food Administration (Ministry of Health)<\/a> show hundreds of food poisoning cases each year, with thousands requiring hospitalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help reduce these risks, WHO recommends 10 principal rules <\/em><\/strong>for food hygiene and safety that everyone should remember and follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Choose safe food: Prioritize fresh items with clear origins. Wash raw fruits and vegetables thoroughly with clean water and peel them when possible.<\/li>
  2. Cook food thoroughly: Make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 70\u00b0C.<\/li>
  3. Eat immediately after cooking: The longer food is exposed, the higher the risk of contamination.<\/li>
  4. Store cooked food properly: After 5 hours, keep food hot above 60\u00b0C or cold below 10\u00b0C.<\/li>
  5. Reheat leftovers thoroughly before eating, especially if they\u2019ve been stored for a while.<\/li>
  6. Avoid cross-contamination: Keep raw and cooked food separate; don\u2019t share knives, cutting boards, or prep surfaces.<\/li>
  7. Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing food and after any interruptions. Cover any wounds you have when cooking.<\/li>
  8. Clean food prep areas and tools regularly: Wash towels, knives, and cutting boards frequently.<\/li>
  9. Keep food covered to avoid contact with insects or dust.<\/li>
  10. Use clean, safe water for cooking, drinking, and making ice.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Every careful food choice not only protects your health but also reflects a responsible lifestyle and community awareness. Small habits can go a long way in preventing illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eating for a healthy body<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In today\u2019s fast-paced world, fast food is everywhere, from nearby stalls to food delivery apps, making it a challenge to maintain a clean, healthy diet. However, even small changes can lead to big impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Start by choosing water or herbal tea over sugary sodas or milk tea,\u2026. Replace refined carbs like white bread or pastries with whole grains for longer-lasting energy. If possible, you should spend time cooking at home to have full control over ingredients and gain better insight into what goes into your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Try to cut back on deep-fried and greasy foods, and go for seasonal fruits instead of sugary bottled juices. Reducing red and processed meats, which are often high in salt, and choosing healthier proteins like eggs, tofu, fish, and nuts can help you eat cleaner and feel better every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
