Fortunately food poisoning can be prevented by following a few basic rules that are outlined in 'Ban the Bugs' in an interesting and entertaining way.

This is the first professionally produced DVD/video on food safety for persons with learning difficulties. “Ban the Bugs” was produced in conjunction with Cambridgeshire County Council Social Services Department and features people with learning difficulties demonstrating good hygiene practice.
