14. Prevention of Food Poisoning

Unfortunately, there are no prophylactic measures to prevent food poisoning available which is why attention to proper hygiene and cleanliness remains the most important way to avoid this kind of infection.

Storing food at the right temperature and avoiding food that has been left out for more than 2 hours is one way to prevent people from getting infected. Also, food should always be prepared using the strictest handling procedures which include proper cooking, and thorough hand washing.
