Food poisoning: How to avoid it
CNNEditor’s Note: Vital Signs is a monthly program bringing viewers health stories from around the world. We’ve put together six common sense ways to avoid food poisoning and the key bacteria behind it – a crib sheet to keep to hand in the kitchen. 2) Be wary of raw poultry “At least half of all raw chicken carcasses carry significant levels of campylobacter,” says bacteriologist Andrew Roe from the University of Glasgow, who states more than 500,000 cases of food poisoning in the U.K. are caused by these chicken-loving bacteria. Judd adds that “food borne illness likely comes from improper thawing/preparation of meats.” Luckily, infection is usually self-controlling, meaning people don’t get severely ill but instead recover over time. “Be prepared to reject food if not cooked thoroughly,” says Roe 4) Don’t forget to wash your fruit The first thoughts when assigning blame to a bout of food poisoning commonly go towards meat and poultry, but your fruits and vegetables aren’t as safe as you think.
