"Hello, my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village, I am going to talk to about how to recognize and how to reduce the risk of food poisoning. Now, in this clip we're going to talk about regularly throwing out left over foods and cleaning out your refrigerator, because that is a potential source for getting a lot of food poisoning cases. So, here in this fridge what we have is, you should do this at least once a week, is to clean out your fridge of any old foods. So, here we have is a bowl of old sea food, calamari, it's been sitting here, it doesn't even have a plastic cling film on it to cover it. So, there's a lot of germs in this bowl here, in this food. I recommend that you just throw it out because you're going to get really sick eating this. Now, the other thing is, look around and make sure that you have no more left over moldy food and food that's expired, expiration date. Throw it out, don't eat it. And here, is a definite no, no because tin cans, rusty tin cans food left over sitting in tin cans is going to cause a lot of problems, food poisoning and also you're going to get rusty on the side of the tin, rust and you're going to get rust poisoning too. So, definitely throw out anything left in the cans. Never put can food into the fridge. So, these are some of the ways you can reduce the risk of getting food poisoning."
