Food hygiene is the best way to avoid contamination by microbes, such as Salmonella, and save your body from gastrointestinal infections, often difficult to control.
In addition to the most basic care, such as washing your hands very well and any food that you eat raw, some other guidelines are to wash the eggshells before breaking them and do not let the meat thaw out of the refrigerator.
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) draws attention to people who eat outside the home to observe local hygiene before eating anything done there. These should give preference to the consumption of foods that are very hot or very cold, which decreases the proliferation of bacteria.
