Safe food handling procedures and food-preparation practices are by far the best means of avoiding infection. Undercooked food, especially pork or other animal products, should not be eaten.

Yersinia infection can be prevented by practicing good food hygiene, including proper cooking and handling of meat and poultry, and avoiding consumption of raw or undercooked foods. It is also important to maintain good hand hygiene, especially after handling raw meat or coming into contact with animals. Additionally, ensuring proper sanitation and hygiene in food processing and preparation areas can help prevent the spread of Yersinia infection.
