Food Safety Basics: The 6-Step Food Safety Wheel Explained #3829750 (License: Personal Use)

This educational infographic presents the six core principles of food safety in a circular format: Clean (washing hands and surfaces), Separate (avoiding cross-contamination), Cook (reaching safe internal temperatures), Chill (refrigerating promptly), Throw Away (discarding spoiled or questionable food), and Check (inspecting for freshness and expiration). Each segment features clear icons-like grapes under running water, raw meat away from veggies, or oranges stored in the fridge-to reinforce best practices. A green germ character lunges forward dramatically, symbolizing pathogens that thrive when these steps are ignored.

Commonly used on public health websites, school nutrition programs, USDA/FDA outreach materials, and foodservice training modules. Targets users seeking practical, visual guidance on preventing foodborne illness at home or in professional kitchens.
