According to the CDC, meals prepared outside of the home are at an increased risk for acquiring foodborne illness. So, it is very important to make some basic food safety observations when eating out.
Food can get contaminated anywhere – so it’s important to observe food safety practices when dining out – no matter who prepares the meal or where you eat it.
Food contamination is not just limited to foods considered risky, such as chicken or fish. Foods that grow bacteria more easily and quickly than other foods are a higher risk and are referred to by the FDA Food Code as “Time/Temperature Control for Safety food” or “TCS food”.
While the American food supply is among the safest in the world, the CDC estimates that there are about 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually – that’s 1 in 6 Americans each year.
To prevent foodborne illness, it is necessary to understand how food becomes unsafe to eat and what proactive measures can be taken to keep food safe.
