imagine you have to create a well balanced meal for yourself and three friends. How can you make sure that the food you serve them will not contain foodborne illnesses?

Make sure to clean the place where you are going to prepare the food beforehand. Such as cleaning the table where your going to prepare the food, cleaning the utensils which you are going to use to prepare the food, and clean your hands. Next, make sure the ingredients that your going to make the meal with aren't spoiled. While preparing the food make sure you don't undercook it so that you don't risk getting sick with things like salmonella or food poisoning. Afterwards do not leave the food laying out. You must either eat it straight after making it or put it in tight containers like rubbermaid containers, pyrex containers, and ziplocs to keep the food fresh for later consumption.
