Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) reports that 48 million Americans each year are infected
with bacteria, viruses or other pathogens from contaminated food. Nearly 150
thousand people were taken to hospital and 3,000 people died. Some sources say
that the number is actually more than expected by CDC. The spread of germs
through the meat and poultry account for 30% of the total causes of infection,
and according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), 40% of
the food below has the potential to cause infection. Right processing and
cooking is highly recommended because it can reduce the risk significantly, but
it does not guarantee you will always be protected from contamination. This is
the food that you need to look at in terms of processing and cooking.

unpasteurized. Ice cream making machine that is not cleaned regularly can also
be a growth of bacteria.
2.

placed in a warm environment. Keep salsa or salad tomato that is cut like dice,
in the refrigerator.

may contain harmful bacteria, such as salmonella, listeria, campylobacteria,
and E. coli. Right cook will kill all the bacteria. Be careful not to spread
bacteria in the refrigerator, the sink or the kitchen table.
4.
Eggs
Eggs can be
contaminated with salmonella. Store in the fridge and cook until done. Do not
be too often eat raw or undercooked eggs.
5.
Green leaves
Lettuce and green
leaves are healthful, but also vulnerable to contamination due process or
treatment that is not correct. Most of the bacteria on the outside, wash
several times. Salad in packaging should also be washed.
6.
