Guidance

Clean water and food can prevent illness and resulting delays to your daily routine or travel.

Food vendors are a great insight into the culture of the country you are in.

Pro tip. Consider where you buy your food when on the street. Vendors with high volume turnover reduce the risk of food poisoning.

Watch where local people buy their food. It’s a good sign and reduces the risk of unwanted stomach troubles.

Select fast moving food items that are popular.

In most parts of the world, don’t drink the tap water. Don’t drink the ice. Buy bottled water and ensure the safety seal has not been tampered with or re-sealed. It happens.

Failing access to bottle water, carry and use water purification tablets.
