What to Avoid When Eating Out When in doubt, avoid it. After all, it’s not worth the risk.
Raw or undercooked: meat, poultry, eggs, fish or shellfish or any foods containing them.
Avoid water if it’s not straight from a sealed bottle
(beware of ice cubes- ice machines can be loaded with bacteria).
Raw or unpasteurized milk, cheese, fruit or vegetable juices.
How do you know if a restaurant follows proper food safety practices?
1 Check bathrooms. They are a good indicator for the overall cleanliness of a place.
Soft cheeses made with unpasteurized milk such as feta, Brie, Camembert, and Mexican-style.

Scan the employees. Clean uniform, hair pulled back, clean fingernails, no uncovered cuts, no sign of sickness- coughing or runny nose, have Baladiah cards.
Check if the restaurant holds any food safety certification..
