FOOD SAFETY

Whether you were away on your dream vacation, or at home, have you ever fallen ill due to contaminated food?
Foodborne illnesses can lead to severe consequences, including hospitalization.

Food poisoning while traveling is normally caused by consuming contaminated food or water, with different pathogens posing a higher risk to foreigners unaccustomed to local diets. Certain foods and beverages, such as street food, salads, buffet food, unpasteurized dairy, and tap water, pose a higher risk of food borne illness due to factors like inadequate refrigeration and poor sanitation.

Keep Food Safe is an organization dedicated to educating the public on current food outbreaks, as well as safe practices for food service companies, and consumers. By stopping outbreaks sooner and educating others, we can continue to trust the food we consume. You can learn more here: Keepfoodsafe.org
