12 to 19 points: Reexamine food safety practices in your home. Some key rules are being violated.

I got a 16 too but why the heck do you need to bleach your drains??? Like anyone is even going to touch the inside let alone eat off them or something. The other one was defrosting things in the fridge, that takes forever and I don't let the meat get to room temperature or anything.

same here. there were several things i didn't necessarily agree with. like i said, we use the heat dry which kills more bacteria then air drying does.

Yeah, we use the heat dry too. And sometimes we will defrost meat in hot water. Well, guess I can't bake cakes in my kitchen then. :lol
Yeah, why would I want to clean the pipe to my garbage disposal?

I missed one becuase i hadn't put bleach down my drain in weeks. I dont do it to sanitize though....my dad told me to put it in the drain once a week so the bleach will keep the sink from backing up.

I think if i was tested a few months ago i would have gotten a lower score becuase I usually eat the cookie dough and defrost in the sink. I dont eat the dough now becuase I'm pregnant and just stopped defrosting in warm water becuse i saw a thing on tv about how bad that is.

My score is 19.

I got a score of 12 - 16. Everyday is different in the amount of time I have and whether I remebered to take something out of the freezer in the morning; or when I have time to clean the kitchen after dinner and put leftover food away! And come on... who doesn't eat raw cookie dough?!?!!?

I surprisingly got 18... Although had I taken this test before my little one was born I probably would have failed miserably!!!
