Food Safety

Canada’s food supply is one of the safest in the world and yet about two million Canadians get foodborne illness each year due to unsafe handling of food.

Many have been made in farming, food processing and eating habits, but in many cases there has been little change in the way consumers prepare and handle food.

Foodborne illness is usually caused by bacteria present on foods such as meat, poultry, , eggs, fruit, vegetables, and throughout the kitchen on food wrappings, cutting boards, dishcloths, your hands, etc.
