Many people don't know that food safety begins from the breeding of animals all the way to slaughter. During reproduction, it's important to ensure that the animals are raised in a healthy environment, fed a balanced diet, and free from harmful substances. In egg-producing farms, for example, inspection is crucial to ensure the quality and safety of the food that reaches consumers' tables. The same goes for the production of pork, beef, and other types of meat. Rigorous inspection throughout the production process is essential to ensure that the food is safe for human consumption.
Foodborne illnesses from animal products can be extremely dangerous and even fatal. They can be transmitted through contaminated foods, including meats, eggs, milk, and other animal products.
Foodborne illnesses from animal products can cause a range of health problems in humans, including fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, kidney failure and even death. Additionally, these illnesses can have a significant impact on the economy and the food industry, leading to financial and reputational losses for the companies involved.
In the United States, the most common foodborne illnesses from animal products include salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, and E. coli infections. Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection that can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain. Campylobacteriosis is another bacterial infection that can cause similar symptoms. E. coli can lead to more severe problems, including kidney failure.
It is crucial to consume only inspected, certified, and rigorously inspected animal products from responsible technical professionals to ensure food safety and prevent foodborne illnesses. When choosing foods, it is important to verify if they have been inspected and certified by regulatory agencies such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. Additionally, it is essential to choose food products that come from establishments that are rigorously inspected by responsible technical professionals, such as veterinary specialists in food safety.
Inspected, certified, and rigorously inspected animal products from responsible technical professionals ensure that food products comply with the food safety standards established by regulatory agencies. This helps to prevent foodborne illnesses and promote public health.

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver. It is usually transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water, or through close contact with an infected person. The symptoms of hepatitis A include fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. Most people recover from hepatitis A without any serious complications, but in some cases, the infection can lead to liver failure or other serious health problems. Hepatitis A can be prevented through proper hygiene measures, such as washing hands regularly and avoiding the consumption of contaminated food and water. Vaccines are also available to prevent hepatitis A.
Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It is usually acquired through ingestion of food contaminated with the feces of infected cats or through contact with contaminated soil. Most people with toxoplasmosis have no symptoms, but in some cases it can cause fever, muscle pain, and fatigue. In pregnant women, toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to the fetus and cause severe neurological or ocular damage. Toxoplasmosis can be prevented through simple measures such as washing hands before handling food, thoroughly cooking meat, and avoiding contact with cat feces.
Botulism is a rare and serious disease caused by the toxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The bacteria can be found in soil and improperly preserved, stored, or handled foods. The symptoms of botulism include muscle weakness, blurred vision, dry mouth, and difficulty speaking and swallowing. In severe cases, it can cause muscle paralysis and respiratory failure, leading to death. Botulism can be prevented through simple food hygiene measures such as avoiding the consumption of improperly preserved or contaminated foods, especially homemade preserves.
Listeriosis is an infection caused by the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. The bacteria can be found in contaminated foods, such as raw or unpasteurized meat, milk, and cheese, raw vegetables, and processed meats. The symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, and headache. In severe cases, the infection can spread to the central nervous system and cause meningitis or other serious complications. Listeriosis can be prevented through simple food hygiene measures such as washing hands before handling food, thoroughly cooking food, and avoiding the consumption of raw or undercooked food.
Campylobacteriosis is a common bacterial infection that affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is caused by the Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, which can be found in poultry meat, raw milk, and contaminated water. The symptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, and nausea. Most people recover without specific treatment, but in severe cases, the infection can lead to complications such as reactive arthritis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Campylobacteriosis can be prevented through simple food hygiene measures such as washing hands before handling food, thoroughly cooking poultry meat, and avoiding the consumption of raw milk or contaminated water.
"Proper food handling is crucial to prevent diseases, deaths, and long-term health consequences that can be caused by consuming contaminated food. In addition, careful food handling can help avoid the need for spending on medications and hospitalizations, significantly reducing healthcare expenses".
