This is the logo of the Foodsafe Partnership, a group of food industry, government, public health and consumer organisations (including Consumers' Institute) working to raise public awareness of food safety issues and to reduce rates of foodborne illness.

The Foodsafe slogan "Clean Cook Cover Chill" is easy to remember and covers a range of advice we have spelled out in the answers to our quiz.

Beware of birds

The stories about sparrows carrying salmonella are true. Don't share your food with the birds, and take special care at outside cafes, picnic tables and other places where sparrows come looking for something to eat and leave their droppings on the tables.
