Food Safety Information Council
This Australian Food Safety Week 9 to 16 November, the Food Safety Information Council is advising consumers that air fryers could be a food safety risk if they don’t follow cooking instructions.
Lydia Buchtmann, the Council’s CEO, said that air fryers are becoming very popular with our recent research shows 2 in 3 Australians surveyed have an air fryer in their household, with 54% of those using it weekly and 38% several times a week.
‘Air fryers are convenient and easy to use, but there have been individual foodborne disease cases around the country linked to air fryers, especially when cooking crumbed products that may look cooked on the outside but aren’t fully cooked on the inside.
