∙ 10y agoFood Sanitation is the actual practice for preventing microbes/bacteria/parasites that can cause sickness from foods ingested is the easiest explanation. It is more than not washing hands before and after food handling; but it goes as far as the origin of the food, and where it is produced. There is an entire science behind this, but we will only touch the basics; as not to put our readers asleep.
The most common pathogens/microbes/parasites that is food related are the following -
- Bacillus cereus
- Campylobacter jejuni
- Clostridium botulinum
- Clostridium perfringens
- Cryptosporidium parvum
- Escherichia coli 0157:H7
- Giardia lamblia
- Hepatitis AListeria monocytogenes
- Norwalk, Norwalk-like, or norovirus
- Salmonellosis
- Staphylococcus
- Shigella
- Toxoplasma gondii
- Vibrio
- Yersiniosis
To go through all of these pathogens/microbes that causes most illnesses will take too long - you can easily research these your self.
The first and very effective practice is to wash hands before handling food and after (even if you are going to eat it). This is always a great practice for not only food (handling or just eating) - but for your own personal health!
Happy eats!
