As the "Little Spring" season approaches, rising temperatures and high humidity can easily lead to food spoilage and mold, making this a high-risk period for bacterial food poisoning. Here, the Ningxia Administration for Industry and Commerce issues a food safety warning for the spring season, reminding consumers to take preventive measures against food poisoning.
First, when dining out, choose well-established restaurants with good hygiene conditions. Avoid purchasing food or dining at unlicensed food stalls or vendors. Cooked food should be consumed promptly. Leftovers from the previous day or meal must be thoroughly reheated before eating. It is recommended to buy, prepare, and eat food on the same day. Additionally, do not consume food that has passed its expiration date or fish of unknown origin. Be cautious of poisoning. Furthermore, store food at low temperatures, thoroughly clean and disinfect utensils and cookware, and use separate utensils for raw and cooked food to prevent cross-contamination.
Second, when purchasing food, choose fresh products and shop at large supermarkets and malls. When buying raw meat, check for the quarantine department's health certificate and official stamp. When selecting rice, cooking oil, and dairy products, it is best to choose products from reputable and well-known companies. Carefully check the product labels, production date, expiration date, and the company name and address.
Third, maintain a balanced diet and avoid overeating. If food poisoning occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Do not take any medication on your own and report the incident to the relevant authorities promptly. At the same time, stop consuming the suspected food immediately and preserve it for inspection.
