Forty-nine percent of kitchen towels tested positive for bacterial growth in a recent study by LiveScience.com. The distributors of Food4Patriots also encourage thorough cleaning of hands and towels while preparing food.
Nashville, TN , United States - July 19, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —
Walk into almost any kitchen in America and dish towels can probably be found. They serve a variety of purposes, including drying dishes and hands as one is preparing a meal. But they can also cause a major problem – food poisoning.
That’s according to a recent article from Readers Digest. Researchers from LiveScience.com tested 100 kitchen towels after they were in use for one month. Forty-nine of those towels showed bacterial growth.
Among the recommendations for avoiding this dangerous situation are using separate towels for dishes, hands and cleaning; washing towels daily, using hot water; and using disposable paper towels after handling meat.
At 4Patriots LLC of Nashville, Tenn., which distributes survival food with a long shelf life, officials also caution people about using kitchen towels that have not been thoroughly cleaned.
“Anyone who has ever suffered from food poisoning can attest to the importance of doing everything possible to avoid it,” said Allen Baler, Partner at 4Patriots. Baler’s company provides a variety of products that help people become more self-reliant and independent.
“Regardless of whether you’re eating fresh food from your garden or enjoying a meal from your food storage supplies, keeping your towels and hands clean is important.”
Good-tasting and nutritious Food4Patriots meals are offered in five different survival food kits – 72-hour, one-week, one-month, three-month and one-year. This variety is provided due to the differences in family sizes and incomes.
