Food Safety

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food poisoning results in over 75 million illnesses and 5,000 deaths every year in the United States.  Foods like dairy products, eggs, meat, poultry, seafood, fruits, and vegetables are the most likely to become infested with germs that can cause illness.  Fortunately, there are plenty of steps you can take to protect yourself from getting sick.  The key is learning how to properly buy, store, clean, and prepare the food you eat and serve your family.  To get answers to all your Food Safety questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites. 

If you think you’ve been a victim of food poisoning, PhillyHealthInfo.org can help you get in touch with the right people in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County. Our resource list in the blue box on the right side of the page is a good place to start.
