The way you shop for groceries can influence your risk of contracting a food borne illness. The American Dietetic Association offers these food-shopping tips:
- Fill up your cart first with non-perishable items, saving dairy, meat and other foods that can spoil for last.
- Prefer fresh produce that's sold in loose pieces, rather than in packages.
- Ensure dairy products aren't past their "sell-by" dates.
- Choose meat, poultry and fish carefully, purchasing only the freshest cuts from a grocer you trust.
- Have your meat, fish and poultry put in bags that are separate from other foods.
