Foods play an integral role in our lives. It is essential for everyone to be aware of safe foods to use because fruits or vegetables can easily be affected by toxins during the planting and processing phases.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revealed the list of the riskiest foods that can make us sick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now is that not a nice thing to do by the government?<\/span><\/p>\n

The riskiest foods account for 40% of all food-borne illnesses and includes high-risk products like sea food and must-eat components like vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following foods most frequently are responsible for outbreaks and illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuna is reportedly associated with bacteria (food borne illness that results from eating spoiled (decayed) fish\u00a0 and can cause food-borne symptoms including: fever, headache, and muscle twitching.<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially when tuna is kept at inappropriate temperatures, it will release a toxin that is hardly removed after the processing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raw or under cooked chicken can cause serious food poisoning from Salmonella. Salmonella food poisoning is not any fun at all. Been there and done that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leafy greens are likely to be contaminated through either production or processing. Therefore, you are advised to wash them carefully to avoid food-borne bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oysters are commonly related to two pathogens namely<\/span><\/p>\n

Norovirus and Vibrio. Therefore, victims usually suffer from vomiting and diarrhea.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the FDA, oysters account for nearly 2,000 illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eggs are easily linked to a bacteria called Salmonella if you do not cook them thoroughly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, 500 million contaminated eggs have been detected in America. I wonder how many chickens it took to produce 500 million eggs. Drum roll – that is 41,666,666 dozen eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ice cream is easily contaminated with Salmonella and Listeriosis due to uncooked eggs or cross contamination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Homemade ice cream is likely connected with contamination because eggs are often undercooked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use the undercooked eggs to avoid unexpected hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potatoes potentially contain various pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, E. Coli, and Listeria because they are mainly grown in the soil. So, be careful if you love potato salad.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be seen that sprout seeds can cause bacteria to multiply rapidly at warm temperature. Moreover, raw and lightly cooked sprouts may be associated with E-Coli and Salmonella.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors advise the elderly, young children and those with compromised immune systems to not eat raw sprouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raw and lightly cooked sprouts are recognized as a source of food-borne illness in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most cheeses are now made with pasteurized milk, lowering the risk of contamination with milk-borne pathogens. However, unlicensed manufacturers are likely to use unpasteurized milk that contain harmful bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salmonella is considered to be the most common hazard among cheese products. Besides, soft cheese contains Listeria, a bacterium that can lead to miscarriage.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
