Avoid high-risk foods for Food Poisoning

Certain foods are more prone to contamination and should be handled with extra caution. Raw or undercooked meats, including poultry, beef, and seafood, should be thoroughly cooked to eliminate harmful pathogens. Unpasteurized dairy products, such as raw milk and cheeses made from raw milk, can harbor dangerous bacteria like Listeria and E. coli and should be avoided or substituted with pasteurized products.

Raw eggs, often found in dishes like homemade mayonnaise or mousse, can contain Salmonella and should be avoided, especially in recipes where eggs are not fully cooked. If consuming these foods is desired, opt for pasteurized eggs or egg products to reduce the risk.

By adhering to these practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of food poisoning and ensure a safer food preparation and consumption experience.
