We spend much of our time, money and energy ensuring that we make healthy choices for ourselves and for our families. But have you ever considered that your habits or kitchen hygiene could be contaminating the food you eat? It's true. The home kitchen, not highly monitored like restaurant kitchens, can actually be a dangerous place when it comes to creating a breeding ground for foodborne illnesses.

For example, did you know that you have a greater chance of getting a bacterial infection from your home kitchen compared to getting one in a restaurant?

Keeping It Kleen is a community of dedicated people interested in kitchen safety and sanitation with an emphasis on food handling safety. We hope to educate and inform you about good sanitation practices and provide a kitchen sanitation checklist to make your life and family safer.

An Interactive Home Health Inspection Challenge on our site can measure just how much you really know...or don't know. Click here to take the challenge.

Tons of free tools and resources will make your quest to gather kitchen safety tips, learn food safety for kids and find instructional videos easier and more interesting. So join us in spreading the good word about Keeping It Kleen!
