Cooperative Extension Service Preventing Food Poisoning And Food Infection Bacteria, Food Poisoning and You Food safety concerns every food handling facility. Each year, thousands of individuals suffer the discomfort and pain resulting from foodborne illness. To prevent such illnesses, understanding the bacteria that cause food poisoning is essential. The term food poisoning is generally used to describe illness caused by al types of foodborne microorganisms. Food poisoning and food infection are different, although the symptoms are similar. True food poisoning or food intoxication is caused by eating food that contains a toxin or poison due to bacterial growth in food. The bacteria which produced and excreted the toxic waste products into the food may be killed, but the toxin they produced causes the illness or digestive upset to occur. Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium botulinum are two species of bacteria that cause food poisoning. Food infection is the second type of foodborne illness. It is caused by eating food that contains certain types of live bacteria which are present in the food. Once the food is consumed, the bacterial cells themselves continue to grow and illness can result. Salmonellosis is a good example of foodborne infection. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is another infection organism and is found primarily in shellfish from polluted waters.

Email updates Printer friendly Text only Food poisoning advice Thursday, 14 August 2003 Common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhoea. Sometimes, you might also develop a fever. Other illnesses, medicines and excessive alcohol can cause similar symptoms to food poisoning. What should I do if I have food poisoning? There are three main things to consider when you are ill: rehydration - drink plenty of fluids and perhaps use rehydration powders available from pharmacies medical assistance - if you are concerned about your health or the health of someone else, contact NHS Direct (0845 4647) or your GP for advice (especially in the case of pregnant women, elderly people, children and people who are already ill) reporting - if you think that your illness was caused by food prepared outside the home, report the incident to your local environmental health service Why is it important to report food poisoning? If you think your illness has been caused by food from a restaurant or other food business, the local environmental health department needs to know so it can investigate the business in question. If the environmental health officers find a problem with the business's food hygiene practices, and get the business to improve them, this could help prevent other people suffering from food poisoning.

Five thousand people die and more than 325,000 people are hospitalized annually as a result of food poisoning, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention According to the US Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service , "Microbial pathogens in food cause an estimated 6.5-33 million cases of human illness and up to 9,000 deaths in the United States each year. Over 40 different foodborne microbial pathogens, including fungi, viruses, parasites, and bacteria, are believed to cause human illnesses. For six bacterial pathogens, the costs of human illness are estimated to be $9.3-$12.9 billion annually. Of these costs, $2.9-$6.7 billion are attributed to foodborne bacteria."

U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA Consumer September - October 1999 Campylobacter: Low-Profile Bug Is Food Poisoning Leader by Audrey Hingley When it comes to food poisoning, big outbreaks make headlines. E. coli in apple juice and alfalfa sprouts. Listeria in cheese and hot dogs. Salmonella in eggs and on poultry. But the most frequently diagnosed food-borne bacterium rarely makes the news. The name of the unsung bug? Campylobacter. "Most Campylobacter infections are sporadic and not associated with an outbreak, but we know it causes up to 4 million human infections a year," says Frederick J. Angulo, D.V.M., an epidemiologist with the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Federal and state health experts have long recognized that Campylobacter causes disease in animals. Conclusive proof that the bacteria also causes human disease emerged in the 1970s, and by 1996, Campylobacter was sitting atop the bacterial heap as the number one cause of all domestic food-borne illness.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Food poisoning Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Food poisoning is a general term for health problems arising from eating contaminated food. Food may be contaminated by bacteria, viruses, environmental toxins, or toxins present within the food itself, such as the poisons in some mushrooms or certain seafood. Symptoms of food poisoning usually involve nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea . Some food-borne toxins can affect the nervous system. Description Every year millions of people suffer from bouts of vomiting and diarrhea each year that they blame on "something I ate." These people are generally correct. Each year in the United States, one to two bouts of diarrheal illness occur in every adult. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are from six to 33 million cases of food poisoning in the United States annually. Many cases are mild and pass so rapidly that they are never diagnosed. Occasionally a severe outbreak creates a newsworthy public health hazard. Classical food poisoning, sometimes incorrectly called ptomaine poisoning, is caused by a variety of different bacteria. The most common are

Home CDC Branch General topics Specific conditions Preventing food poisoning in the home What is food poisoning? Food poisoning is an illness resulting from consuming contaminated food or water. Food can be contaminated by bacteria, viruses or parasites or by toxic substances produced by certain bacteria. Food poisoning is one of the most common illnesses in Australia, with an estimated 1.5 million Australians suffering from food-borne illness each year. Appropriate personal hygiene and proper practices in the preparation and storage of food can help prevent food poisoning in the community and in the home. What causes food poisoning? Many different organisms can cause food poisoning. Most are bacteria. Food poisoning can result from: eating contaminated food drinking contaminated water being in contact with a person who is infected with a food-borne illness being in contact with an animal that is infected with a food-borne illness. Contaminated food may not look, smell or taste any different from food that is safe. Bacteria will grow on most foods. Common sources of food poisoning include chicken, seafood, some raw eggs, red meats, unpasteurised (raw) dairy products and stored cooked rice. These foods are called high-risk foods because they provide a good environment for the growth of bacteria. Foods that are not high-risk include dried foods in their original packaging, and jars, cans or other containers that have been processed by heat. However, once these foods are opened they may become high-risk foods.
