During the summer, due to high air temperatures and violations of food safety regulations, the risk of the spread of intestinal infectious diseases increases.
To avoid intestinal infections, specialists from the Food Safety Inspection Body recommend following some simple rules for maintaining food safety and sanitary-hygienic standards, thereby minimizing seasonal outbreaks of intestinal infectious diseases.
“The main causes of outbreaks of intestinal infections are violations of food preparation technological rules, improper storage of food, neglecting expiration dates, and violations of personal hygiene rules when preparing and consuming food.
The main symptoms of intestinal infections are fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and weakness.
The main rules for preventing intestinal infections are to drink only boiled or bottled water, thoroughly wash vegetables, fruits, and greens, ensure adequate thermal processing of meat, poultry, eggs, and fish, store raw foods separately from ready-to-eat foods using different shelves and cutting boards, avoid buying food from the streets and unauthorized sales points, and regularly wash and disinfect surfaces in living areas.
The main rules for maintaining personal hygiene are to wash hands before eating, after using the restroom, and after walks or contact with animals.
Teach your children to also follow these simple hygiene rules.
Even while resting in nature, we urge you to strictly adhere to food safety rules: first wash your hands, then thoroughly wash food under running water, avoid secondary contamination as much as possible when preparing anything, and keep perishable food only in the refrigerator to avoid seasonal outbreaks of intestinal infectious diseases:
