Learn the Facts about Food Safety!

Food safety is of utmost importance because there are many factors that can go wrong. There is also a lot of misinformation circulating about food safety, so it's essential to know the truth. Here are a few important things to be aware of.

Food poisoning can happen to anyone, but certain groups are more at risk than others. These include the elderly, pregnant women, young babies and children, and those with compromised immune systems and chronic illnesses. Be especially vigilant about food safety when preparing meals for anyone in these categories.

Approximately 48 million people get sick from food-borne illnesses every year. Because of this, simply reducing these cases by just 1 percent would mean nearly 500,000 fewer people would become ill each year.

Although it is thankfully less common than sickness, death can also be a result of food poisoning. Reducing the number of food poisoning cases would, in turn, decrease the number of deaths caused by it.
