The term food poisoning actually means disease resulting from ingestion of food contaminated with a toxin produced by a micro organism. The most common types of food according to nhsdirect.com are Campylobacter, E.Coli and salmonella. These are caught from foods such as contaminated water, raw chicken, milk and eggs. According to the Food Standards Agency, it is estimated that up to 5.5 million people in the UK are affected from food poisoning each year. There are many possible ways of preventing this on both the consumers and the manufacturer’s part.
