Bag it!

Use Biomaster antibacterial bags (£2.49 from Marks and Spencer, Morrisons and HYGIENEDOCTOR.CO.UK) for Christmas food shopping – reserving one for raw meat, says hygiene expert Dr Lisa Ackerley. Regular plastic bags can harbour bacteria for up to 16 weeks – risking cross-contamination and food poisoning. But these innovative bags are lined with antibacterial properties to protect contents from harmful bugs like campylobactor, salmonella, listeria and E.Coli.
