Foodborne illnesses can be prevented through proper food handling and hygiene. Key measures include washing hands and food preparation surfaces, cooking foods to safe internal temperatures, avoiding cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods, refrigerating perishable items promptly, washing fresh fruits and vegetables, consuming pasteurized dairy products, and using safe drinking water. These practices help reduce the growth and spread of disease-causing microorganisms.
