How to Help Avoid Foodborne Illness in the Home
Features prevention strategies and causes.
While eating bacteria-contaminated or undercooked meat and poultry is a common way of getting foodborne illness, another major culprit is food handling and cross-contamination
Know the Common Bacteria Following are four of the major bacteria (microscopic organisms) that can spread through improper food handling and cross-contamination
Cross-contamination Experts agree that accidental food to food or surface to food cross-contamination is one of the biggest culprits of foodborne illness
A cross-contamination example: You spill raw poultry juice on the kitchen counter, wipe up the juice wit a cloth, then cut lettuce on the same contaminated surface
By reducing the risk of cross-contamination, you cut down the risk of foodborne illness
Avoid cross-contamination in your shopping cart; do not allow raw meat, poultry or seafood juice to drip on to your other groceries
Overwrap packages of raw meat, poultry or fish or place them on a dish before refrigerating so that their juices won't drip onto other foods causing cross-contamination
Wash surfaces, utensils and cooking equipment after any contact with raw meat, eggs, poultry or seafood to reduce cross-contamination

Includes causes of illness, incubation period, symptoms, possible contaminants,
and steps for prevention.
Cause of Illness: Infection, even with low numbers Incubation Period: One to seven days Symptoms: Nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, headache - varying in severity Possible Contaminant: Raw milk, eggs, poultry, raw beef, cake icing, water Steps for Prevention: Pasteurize milk; cook foods properly; prevent cross-contamination
Cause of Illness: Strain of enteropathic E.coli Incubation Period: Two to four days Symptoms: Hemorrhagic colitis, possibly hemolytic uremic syndrome Possible Contaminant: Ground beef, raw milk Steps for Prevention: Thoroughly cook meat; no cross-contamination
Cause of Illness: Infection with Listeria monocytogenes Incubation Period: Two days to three weeks Symptoms: Meningitis, sepsticemia, miscarriage Possible Contaminant: Vegetables, milk, cheese, meat, seafood Steps for Prevention: Pasteurize milk; cook foods properly; no cross-contamination; use sanitary practices
Cause of Illness: Infection with Salmonella species Incubation Period: 12 to 24 hours Symptoms: Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, headache, chills, prostration Possible Contaminant: Meat, poultry, egg or milk products Steps for Prevention: Cook thoroughly; avoid cross-contamination; use sanitary practices

monocytogenes contamination (i.e., purge from open packages of luncheon meats or hot dogs)
Separate: Treat all RTE foods, raw meat, poultry and seafood as possible sources of contamination
This will reduce the chance of cross-contamination
Store meats and other potential sources of contamination below food that are consumed raw
Rewrap open packages carefully or store in leak proof containers to prevent cross-contamination
At the present time, proper cooking, preventing cross contamination of raw and cooked food, proper personal hygiene and good sanitation are the best measures to control Listeria
Cover all food to prevent cross-contamination
Place uncooked meat, poultry, fish, or other raw products below cooked or RTE foods in the refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination

Finally, if a milk-free product is run on the same line as a milk-containing product, you may get trace amounts of milk in the milk-free product due to cross-contamination
Even dark or bittersweet chocolate is often run on the same production line as milk chocolate, and the risk of cross-contamination is high if YOUR chocolate bar comes from the beginning of the run
Therefore, even if the item itself contains no dairy ingredients, there may be a risk of cross-contamination
(Some of the products below may still pose a risk of cross-contamination
(There is still a risk of cross-contamination, though, from other products made on the same manufacturing lines
Fleischmann's Unsalted or Light margarine and spreads Arnold's stoneground whole wheat bread (some versions) Kellog's Pop-Tarts (many flavors) White House white frosting mix (but not the chocolate) Sunshine brand cookies (some, not all) White Wave Dairyless Yogurt (tastes like yogurt, especially if the consumer has had the milk allergy long enough to have forgotten what yogurt really tastes like) Rice Dream or other rice milk (chocolate tastes least bad) Lindt bittersweet chocolate bars (Nothing bitter about them, if you ask us.) NOTE: Lindt is now carrying a dairy warning on the label, apparently due to some risk of cross-contamination

Download a FDA Reports to Congress on Cross-Contamination The FDA's report to Congress regarding cross-contact with food allergens during food manufacturing and distribution, and consumer preferences about advisory labeling is out
For instance, contamination can occur as a result of allergens in raw ingredients or in processing aids, or as a result of allergen carry-over from the use of shared equipment and from clean-in-place fluid used to clean shared equipment
Dedicated facilities or production lines can help control cross contamination, but their use is limited due to cost, space limitations or equipment utilization needs

Food Safety for the Chronically Ill Factsheet covering foods to avoid, safe handling and preparation, and eating in
restaurants.
Place packaged meat, poultry or fish into a plastic bag before placing it in the shopping cart to prevent drippings from coming in contact with other foods and thus reduce the risks of cross-contamination bacteria from one food contaminating another food
Keeping shelves, counter tops, refrigerators, freezers, utensils, sponges and towels clean is one of the best ways to prevent bacterial contamination of food at home
This helps prevent cross-contamination in which, for example, bacteria in raw meat could be transferred to other foods, such as salads or vegetables
