  • 健康的成长和发展是父母们最优先考虑的事情,因为他们会考虑为孩子的上学日准备食物。对许多家长来说,帮助孩子健康成长需要采取必要的预防措施,以确保孩子不在身边时,他们会留意食物安全习惯,以预防食源性疾病。

    食源性疾病,或称“食物中毒”,是指食用被有害细菌、病毒、霉菌、寄生虫或毒素污染的食品和饮料而引起的感染。食用一些细菌,如酸奶中的细菌,有益于肠道健康;然而,摄入有害微生物会导致恶心、呕吐和腹泻等症状。

    据估计,每年有六分之一的美国人感染食源性疾病,尽管大多数人通过补充体液和抗生素康复,但免疫系统较弱的人群(如儿童)面临神经损伤和死亡等更严重症状的风险。

    2015年,出勤率和学校健康活动报告表明,急性疾病占学生缺勤人数的近50%。这些健康问题,包括食源性疾病,可能导致发育障碍和教育成就差距。

    幸运的是,食源性疾病是可以预防的。当学生们拿着午餐回到学校时,家长们可以使用并鼓励相关安全食品处理措施来保护他们的孩子。

    • The Food Safety Campaign is brought to you by the Australian meat industry through Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) and the National Meat Association of Australia (NMAA). The principal aim of the Food Safety Campaign is to raise awareness amongst the Australian public and food industry of the need for safe food handling practices such as: Keep hot food steaming hot. Cool hot food quickly in the fridge. Cook food properly. Keep cold food refrigerated. Avoid cross contamination - keep raw food seperate from cooked food, keep working surfaces and utensils clean, and frequently wash and dry hands thoroughly. A secondary aim of the strategy is to raise awareness amongst consumers of the particular food safety requirements of meat. Simply put, raw meat should be kept separate from other foods to avoid cross-contamination.
