Experts state that eating raw pork, insufficient cooking time, inadequate steaming and boiling, and mixing utensils for raw and cooked food are the main causes of human parasitic infections. For safe and healthy pork consumption, consumers should be aware of the following four points:
1. To avoid pathogens from the source, purchase pork from formal, regulated markets where it has passed inspection. Do not buy from unlicensed or unqualified vendors to prevent purchasing uninspected diseased pork.
2. At home, use separate cutting boards for raw and cooked food. Cutting boards used for meat must be thoroughly washed and rinsed with boiling water. When cooking meat, ensure it is fully cooked through.
3. Change the habit of eating raw meat.
4. For those who eat out frequently, try to avoid unlicensed roadside stalls or restaurants without health guarantees. When time permits, it is best to cook your own meals.
