How should you punctuate this sentence The consumption of raw or undercooked foods such as meat fish and eggs which may contain harmful bacteria may cause serious illness or death?

The sentence should be punctuated as: "The consumption of raw or undercooked foods, such as meat, fish, and eggs, which may contain harmful bacteria, may cause serious illness or death." Adding commas before and after the list of foods clarifies each item being listed and separates the nonessential clause for improved readability.
