Food Poisoning - A National Epidemic?

The Levin Papantonio Law Firm addresses the topic of Food Poisoning, common causes, and the types of illnesses associated. Contamination of food by storing food at wrong temperatures and improperly handling and packaging of foods are examples of what causes food poisoning. There are two main categories of causes of food poisoning: infected agents and toxic agents and some common illnesses include Hepatitis A, the E-Coli virus and salmonella. Some safeguards against food poisoning? Buy your cold foods last, wash your food thoroughly and cut meats on separate cutting boards.
