The Directorate of Bromatology of the Municipality of Concordia, reminds the community of the importance of adopting preventive measures to avoid Foodborne Diseases (FBDs).
FBDs are diseases that can be caused by the consumption of food or water contaminated with microorganisms, chemical substances, or other agents. Many of them can be prevented through proper hygiene, handling, preparation, and food storage practices.
To reduce risks, it is recommended to:
Wash hands correctly before, during, and after handling food.
Keep surfaces, utensils, and equipment clean and disinfected.
Separate raw food from cooked or ready-to-eat food.
Cook food thoroughly, especially meat, eggs, and preparations containing them.
Maintain an adequate cold chain and do not leave perishable food at room temperature for prolonged periods.
Use safe water and raw materials.
Respect expiration dates.
Protect food from insects, rodents, and other contaminating agents.
The prevention of FBDs is a shared responsibility. Every good practice, from purchasing and storage to preparation and consumption, contributes to protecting the health of the community.
The Directorate of Bromatology continues to work on controls, training, and awareness to promote safe practices and strengthen food safety.
