4. Pathogens can be found on almost all of the food that
humans eat. However, heat from cooking usually kills
pathogens on food before it reaches our plate. Foods eaten
raw are common sources of food poisoning because they
don’t go through the cooking process.
Occasionally, food will come in contact with the organisms in
fecal matter. This most commonly happens when a person
preparing food doesn’t wash their hands before cooking.
Meat eggs, and dairy products are frequently contaminated.
Water may also be contaminated with organisms that cause
illness.
