Food Safety

Food safety is an important aspect of everyone's life. The food we eat has the potential to make us very sick if not handled and prepared correctly. Foods can carry and grow harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Chemicals and physical agents can also find their way onto our food and make us sick.

Many of us are also affected by food allergies. These allergies can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea, hives or rashes to anaphylactic shock.

We can all stay healthy by knowing how to keep our food safe.
