In a typical day, few people may pay much mind to foodborne illnesses. But once a person gets sick from food poisoning, the experience is something they don’t soon forget.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year 48 million people get sick from a foodborne illness. The CDC notes that most instances of food poisoning are infections caused by various bacteria, viruses and parasites. Food safety can prevent many instances of food poisoning, which is one reason why restaurants must adhere to strict protocols designed to keep customers safe. Routine inspections by government officials ensure those guidelines are followed, but what about cooking at home? When cooking at home, the family chef can follow these steps to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses.
