It seems that there is no such person who would not encounter food poisoning. We can "catch" bacteria by eating even the most common foods. How to avoid it? Let's talk!

1. Lettuce

 

Romaine lettuce, iceberg, lettuce - the usual greens on our table, and it would seem, what could be wrong with a salad? What's more, it looks clean. But scientists studied the statistics of poisoning and found that it is leaf lettuce that is most often the causative agent of poisoning. We do not know under what conditions the product was grown, perhaps wild cattle were walking around, the salad may have been watered with contaminated water, etc. Take two minutes to thoroughly wash it with water.

2 eggs

Many have heard of Salmonella infection, it is transmitted through the droppings of infected chicken. Therefore, eggs should still be washed immediately before use and stored separately from other products.

3. Chicken

 

Raw chicken juice contains campylobacter bacteria, which most often infect the body and provoke indigestion. There have been cases of infection with fever, again "thanks" to the bacteria of raw chicken. Therefore, rinse the cutting board thoroughly, even with boiling water, try to use gloves and do not touch other products while cutting the chicken.

4. Tuna

If tuna is defrosted incorrectly, more precisely, when meat or fish begins to interact sharply with air, a toxic protein is formed. Tuna should be thawed only with a slow decrease in temperature, simply shifting from the freezer to the refrigerator. Yes, it's long, but you can avoid diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain.

5. Cheese

 

With cheese, it's a bit more complicated, since we can't be 100% sure that our table is served with a product made only from pasteurized milk taken from a healthy animal. Therefore, do not be fooled by the tricks of advertisers and low prices, buy only a proven brand product, the products of which are carefully packaged.

6. Sausages and semi-finished meat products

 

Sausages and semi-finished meat products have always raised a lot of questions about their composition, because they contain a lot of additives, and there can be no talk of pure meat. But the worst thing is that many of these products contain bacteria that affect the body: E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella. They are especially dangerous for people with weakened immune systems.

7. Ready stuffing

It is best not to buy minced meat in stores, but cook it yourself from fresh good meat. Do not try to cook tartar steak from such minced meat, you can become infected with E. coli, salmonella, listeria. Thoroughly fry, bake, boil minced meat and freeze properly.

8. Seafood cocktail

 

If you want to enjoy seafood, choose only frozen in ice, and cook it yourself, after defrosting it properly. The cocktail most often contains a large amount of bacteria and yeast, and all this is due to improper storage and violation of sanitary standards. Seafood food poisoning is considered one of the most dangerous, be careful.
