Food Safety for People with Weakened Immune Systems
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/22/12 -- Health Canada is reminding Canadians of the importance of food safety for people with weakened immune systems.
When you are ill, your immune system can be weakened which makes it harder for your body to fight off infections. Examples of people who may have weakened immune systems include transplant patients and those with diabetes, HIV, as well as some cancer patients. It is extremely important for people with weakened immune systems, and their caregivers, to follow food safety steps and avoid eating certain foods to help lower their risk of foodborne illness.
It is estimated that there are approximately 11 million cases of foodborne illnesses in Canada every year. Many of these cases could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques.
To minimize the risks of foodborne illness, follow these steps when handling and preparing food:
Separate
Clean
Chill
Cook
Caution
