How can we maintain the safety of our food supply?

CLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often. Keep everything clean while preparing meals. Wash hands and kitchen surfaces often with soap and water. Wash cutting boards, dishes, and utensils after preparing each food item and before going on to the next item. Paper towels are recommended for cleaning up kitchen surfaces.

SEPARATE: Don't cross-contaminate. Separate raw meat, poultry, and seafood from other foods when shopping at the grocery store and storing them in your refrigerator. Use one cutting board for raw meat, poultry, and seafood and a separate one for other food. Never place cooked food on a plate that previously held raw meat, poultry, or seafood unless the plate has been thoroughly cleaned.

COOK: Cook to safe temperatures. Use a food thermometer to make sure meat, poultry, and egg dishes are cooked to safe temperatures. Do not second-guess the internal temperature of cooked foods—follow the recommended temperatures in the chart below. Keep hot food hot, 140 °F or above. When reheating, leftovers should be thoroughly heated to 165 °F; sauces and soup should be brought to a rolling boil.

Explanation:

this disease is :

* endemic (present in a defined area that is a village)

* a bacterial infection (treated with antibiotic)

* communicable by contact (by the hands)

manu-porterage is the most common mode of transmission, it transmits germs from one individual to another via the hands. this concerns infections of exogenous origin.

endemic disease, or endemic disease, refers to a disease that is constantly present in a given population, often tied to a specific geographic origin, as opposed to a pandemic that is not a sporadic disease.

antibiotics are molecules that have the property of killing (bactericidal) or limiting the spread (bacteriostatic) of bacteria.
