Safe food habits, fewer infections

Simple habits like washing our hands before and during food preparation, using clean surfaces and utensils, separating raw and cooked items to avoid contamination, cooking meat, poultry, eggs and seafood thoroughly, keeping perishable foods refrigerated and washing fruits and vegetables well prevent infections, reduce the need for antimicrobials, and lower the chance for resistant microbes to develop.
