Infections rise during the summer months, and many cases are linked to undercooked or mishandled meat, poultry and eggs – all items you might buy or cook if you’re entertaining friends and family.

• Don't be a tool - use more than one utensil
• The sunny side risk
• Avoid risky food roulette

Throughout the year, the campaign will share top tips for people to keep safe when cooking and preparing food.
