Preventing Foodborne Illnesses
Each year throughout the U.S., foodborne illnesses strike more than 800,000 children. Considering that children have less-mature immune systems, it’s easy to understand why babies and toddlers are especially susceptible.
Did you know:
* More than 200 known illnesses are transmitted through food.
* Food-related illnesses result in 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths each year.
*Tainted food can’t be detected by the human nose, eye, or tongue, but only through lab testing.
* Under optimal conditions, bacteria can double in as short as 10 minutes. This means the number of disease causing bacteria can increase from one to 10 million organisms in less than eight hours.
*Bacteria can multiply rapidly at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees, the “temperature danger zone”.
