Eight Precautions for Preventing Food Poisoning in Summer
Introduction: Since food poisoning is prone to occur in summer, preventive measures should be taken in daily life. When purchasing food, eating out while traveling, or preparing food yourself, be mindful of preventing food poisoning. The following lists eight precautions for preventing food poisoning in summer, hoping to draw everyone's attention.
When Purchasing Food:
One, When purchasing food, be sure to check the manufacturer's name, address, production date, and shelf life. Do not buy "three-no" products (without production date, shelf life, or manufacturer's information) or food with abnormal sensory properties.
Two, When buying food, choose supermarkets or large stores with a certain scale, good reputation, and strict quality control. Do not purchase food from street vendors or unlicensed stalls to ensure the hygiene and safety of food ingredients.
When Dining Out:
Three, When dining out, choose restaurants with good hygiene conditions and high reputation, rated as Class A or B. Do not eat at unlicensed stalls.
Four, When traveling, do not buy food from unlicensed vendors or mobile stalls; do not casually pick and eat unfamiliar wild fruits, mushrooms, or vegetables.
When Preparing Food:
Five, When preparing food, keep raw and cooked foods separate during processing and use separate utensils for raw and cooked foods.
Six, Do not eat food with abnormal sensory properties; do not eat spoiled foods such as sprouted potatoes and moldy sweet potatoes; do not eat fresh daylilies; cook and thoroughly boil lentils.
Seven, Do not eat raw meat, seafood, or other such foods. When purchasing fish, meat, and other foods, pay special attention to freshness. During cooking, fish and meat should be thoroughly heated. Methods like frying and stewing with vinegar (or hawthorn) can effectively reduce histamine, an undesirable substance in fish.
Keep Related Receipts When Out
Eight, After purchasing food and dining out, obtain and keep the relevant receipts. If you discover any food hygiene issues or experience discomfort symptoms such as abdominal pain or diarrhea, promptly call 12320 to report and complain. Many people do not have the habit of asking for receipts when dining in restaurants. If a food poisoning incident occurs and you cannot provide proof of the meal, it is difficult to protect your personal rights. Over time, even if you report the issue, law enforcement officers will find it difficult to obtain direct and persuasive evidence. Therefore, to protect your personal rights, develop the habit of asking for receipts when dining out.
