Prevention of Foodborne Diseases: Five Keys to Safer Food
Before leaving home consult your physician for advice on the various diseases to which you may be exposed at your destination, and the need for vaccinations or other preventive measures. Make sure you carry in your luggage Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS), and any other medicines you may require during your travel.

Keep Clean
Wash your hands often and always before handling and consuming food.
Dangerous microorganisms are widely found in soil, water, animals and people and can be carried on hands and transferred to food. While visiting food markets, be aware of this when touching raw food and in particular raw meat, and wash hands after handling these foods. These markets often include live animals which can transmit a number of diseases including avian influenza (“bird flu”). Therefore avoid handling or close contact with these animals.

Raw and cooked food should be separated
When frequenting street food vendors or buffets in hotels and restaurants, make sure that cooked food is not in contact with raw food that could contaminate it. Avoid any uncooked food, apart from fruits and vegetables that can be peeled or shelled.
