The Importance Of Quality Food

The quality of your food is one of the most important factors to a delicious meal and at La Bottega of Farmingdale we know how important this is. Many things go into what makes your food “high quality,” and it is important to keep these things in mind when you are out at a restaurant or shopping for your next dinner at the grocery store. If you are eating food that has “poor quality” you can be putting your body at risk for an illness.

One of the most important reasons why you should eat high quality food is for health reasons. By eating food that is not high quality, you can get a illness as a result from food contamination. Some of the most common and well known food contaminants are E.Coli and mold. While there are many others that can contaminate your food, by eliminating poor quality food you will lessen your chance of falling ill due to food contaminants.

A factor that leads to food quality is how the food is produced. Whether it is how the food is grown or how the meat is butchered, this all affects the quality of your food. The condition of the soil or water that your food is grown in can impact the quality of the food because if the soil or water becomes contaminated then so will your food.

After the food is produced, it is still at risk for contamination during the processing and transporting part of production.  During transportation, if the proper hygienic guidelines are not followed every step of the way, then the food can become contaminated. The last step in making sure you ensure that your food is high quality, is in the way it is prepared. Your food must be stored properly, cooked at the right temperature for the right amount of time, and then kept warm at the right temperature prior to eating.
