How to Reduce Your Risk of Foodborne Illnesses

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

When you’re at the supermarket, you need to look for organic turkey, as it’s raised without the use of antibiotics. In fact, these drugs might have promoted the increase of resistant bacteria.

Once at home, wash any surface that has come in contact with raw ground turkey after preparation, and serve it cooked on a clean plate. Also, remember to use a paper towel rather than a sponge to clean up any spillage.

4- Raw Oysters

Oysters can include Vibrio vulnificus, campylobacter, and the norovirus. According to researchers, 9% of the ‘certified-safe’ beds of oysters were found infected with salmonella bacteria.

You should better buy from the same beds that a chef sets their own reputation on.

At home, you simply have to eat only well-cooked oysters. However, don’t avoid this great food, as it boosts your libido and offers plenty of health benefits.

5- Eggs

An estimated 660,000 individuals get sick from food poisoning associated with eggs, every year, while the number of deaths is 300.

When at the supermarket, you should look for the word ‘pastured’ in egg cartons or just forget about the supermarket and buy eggs from a backyard chicken owner or at the farmer’s market.

Once at home, keep eggs in their package and store in the fridge. Don’t forget to wash your hands after you crack one open.

6- Cantaloupe

According to the FDA, 3.5% of melons contain Salmonella and Shigella. In 2011, cantaloupe was contaminated with Listeria, which is more linked to dairy products and meat.

Avoid buying the cut up slices of the fruit at the supermarket because employees may not be properly washing their hands, also, a fruit with a bruising or dents on may give a way for pathogens to enter.

When you bring cantaloupe home, scrub it using dishwashing liquid for up to 30 seconds under running water because it’s a fruit with a netted exterior and that grows in the ground, making it easy for salmonella to lurk on.
