Did you know that a salad can kill you? Today in America, a large amount of food that we eat is grown in other countries. The producers or growers of the food ship it to America where we then distribute it to wholesalers. Along the shipping route, there is great chance that contamination of the food may occur. This contamination can lead to gastroenteritis, a condition with unpleasant symptoms and could even lead to death.
In today’s lecture I was more surprised about the other ways that food can become contaminated. It is throughout the production of the food itself, that there is even more opportunity for contamination. Dr. Cloutier mentioned today that there was a case of contaminated cheese that occurred when the cheese was being packaged.
