Stop Foodborne Illness’ Post

To those of you sitting on this table I’m here again oh You say you prefer undercooked eggs to well cooked egg Why? Your response is because it’s sweeter🤦♀️🤦♀️ What warranted me in making this post is a woman brought her sick baby to the hospital and I saw her feeding the baby undercooked egg because she felt it’s more nutritious (a sick baby whose immune system is weakened already 🤦♀️) Undercooked egg can pose so many health threat such as diarrhea, vomiting It can also put you at risk for contracting salmonellosis, a foodborne illness from Salmonella bacteria that can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. Salmonella can be killed by Heat so tell me why you’d choose not to kill the bacteria and prefer to ingest it Usually the heat of frying an egg is enough to kill the Salmonella that is in the product as long as the egg white is solid. But then you have to think of this as a risk proposition. Is it so important to you to eat an undercooked egg as opposed to staying safe from Salmonella illnesses? P.S: Which do you prefer? Undercooked or very cooked? Or even raw eggs Meeting me for the first time? I’m Iruoje Efe, your favourite nutritionist Your health is my priority❤️ You haven’t connected with me? Let’s fix that

Foodborne diseases such as E. coli, Shigella, Hepatitis A, and Norovirus pose significant health risks. E. coli, particularly the strain O157, can cause severe stomach cramps and bloody diarrhea, often transmitted through contaminated food like undercooked beef and raw vegetables. Shigella leads to shigellosis, characterized by diarrhea (often bloody), abdominal pain, and fever, spreading through contaminated food and poor hygiene practices. Hepatitis A, a viral infection affecting the liver, is primarily transmitted through contaminated food and water, with symptoms including fatigue, nausea, and jaundice; vaccination is available for prevention. Norovirus, known for causing gastroenteritis, leads to severe vomiting and diarrhea and spreads easily in crowded environments. Prevention strategies include good hand hygiene, thorough cooking, and avoiding unpasteurized products. #Foodbornedisease #foodsafety #consultancy #betterlife 

In early February, the United States and Canada faced a listeria outbreak, posing significant public health risks. Listeria is hidden in food products. This time the cheese queso Fresco and Cotija were involved. Although many people may have mild symptoms or remain asymptomatic, vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, newborns and the elderly face serious complications. LABPLAS offers sterile sampling solutions that are critically important in preventing such outbreaks. Early detection of pathogens such as Listeria in food products is essential to avoid significant public health risks. LABPLAS’s sterile sampling solutions make it possible to collect samples under perfectly sterile conditions, which facilitates the rapid detection of pathogens and the implementation of preventive measures.

Adequate nutrition for all

🌟 Feeding Tube Awareness Week🌟 If you can’t eat the same way as most people, it can make you feel left out. Stigmatizing attitudes may contribute to feelings of isolation, shame, or judgment for those who rely on feeding tubes. That’s why we want to raise awareness about the diverse reasons individuals may need feeding tubes and encourage open conversations to break down misconceptions. 💡 What is tube feeding? Enteral tube feeding is a way to help people who can't get enough nutrition from eating. This might be because they have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or need more nutrients than they can get from their food due to illness or treatment. The nutrients go directly to the stomach or small intestine. If nutrients are given via the veins, it's called parenteral or intravenous feeding. 💡 What are the different types of feeding tubes? There are two main categories of enteral feeding tubes: 🔹 transnasal (through the nose) for short-term feeding 🔹 percutaneous (trough a small incision in the belly) for long-term feeding 💡 Are feeding tubes permanent? Some people may require a feeding tube temporarily during a period of illness or recovery, while others with chronic conditions may need long-term or permanent feeding tube support. The decision is typically made in consultation with healthcare professionals based on the specific medical needs and goals of the individual. Join us in raising awareness this #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek! #MedicalDevices #EnteralNutrition #FreseniusKabi
