What Every Parent Needs to Know About Foodborne Illness A disease is called "foodborne" because a person most often becomes ill from eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated with germs from dirt, animal feces or human feces. However, once these germs infect a person, they can be transferred to other people. Thus, "foodborne" diseases can be spread by people, changing tables, daycare centers, or swimming pools. The spread of germs may be prevented with thorough hand washing. In babies or children, today's foodborne disease germs like Salmonella and E.coli can cause serious, life threatening illness within hours or days. To kill foodborne germs it is important to cook foods to the proper temperatures. To prevent foodborne disease in your family, it is also important to refrigerate leftovers immediately, and clean surfaces, counters, utensils, and hands often. Use separate knives, utensils, plates and cutting boards for raw meats, poultry and fish because the juices may contain germs. These germs can contaminate fruit and vegetables and cooked meats if the same equipment is used. |

| Important Information about Foodborne Illness for babies and young children.... |
| Eggs- Must Be Cooked Until Dry The eggs you buy can contain Salmonella inside the shell. To kill Salmonella, eggs must be cooked thoroughly, hard boiled or scrambled until dry. Examples of food that contain undercooked eggs are: soufflés, eggs sunny side up, soft boiled eggs, fresh Caesar salad dressing, some homemade frostings, raw cookie and cake batter and French toast. Children should eat only thoroughly cooked eggs and egg products |
| Fresh Fruit and Vegetables - Inspect and Rinse Thoroughly When choosing fresh fruit and vegetables, always look for undamaged produce which does not show signs of being dropped, caked-on dirt or contact with birds or worms. Rinse fresh fruit and vegetables throughly under running, potable water. Children should not consume uncooked sprouts because sprouts have caused frequent outbreaks of Salmonella and E.coli 0157.H7.
