ATLANTA, April 19 () -- Infections from campylobacter -- linked to poultry, raw milk, produce and other foods -- rose 14 percent in 2012 compared to 2006-08, U.S. officials say. The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network -- FoodNet -- report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said vibrio infections were up 43 percent when compared with rates observed in 2006-08. Vibrio infections are most often associated with eating raw shellfish, the report said.However, the nation's annual food safety report card showed 2012 rates of other food-borne infections hadn't changed during the same period."The U.S. food supply remains one of the safest in the world," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC said in a statement. "However, some food-borne diseases continue to pose a challenge."People, including pregnant women,[url=http://www.michaelkorsoutletstorei.com/]michael kors outlet store[/url], those with weakened immune systems and children, who want to reduce risk of food-borne illness should assume raw chicken and other meat carry bacteria that can cause illness and shouldn't allow those foods to cross-contaminate surfaces and other foods.People should also cook chicken and other meat well, avoid consuming unpasteurized milk and unpasteurized soft cheeses and cook seafood thoroughly,[url=http://www.raybanoutletu.com/]ray ban outlet[/url], officials advised.For more information on avoiding illnesses from food, visit www.foodsafety.gov. |
