Food poisoning, also called food borne illness, is an acute illness caused by eating contaminated food. Infectious organisms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites or their toxins are the most common causes of food poisoning. These organisms can contaminate food at any point of food processing or production. Contamination can also occur at home if food is incorrectly handled or cooked. Dietary sources for food borne illness include contaminated water, unwashed vegetables and fruits, meat, poultry,

eggs, shellfish and dairy products such as milk. The main catering issues stem from poorly designed kitchens, lack of food safety management systems, poor hygiene and insufficient training of catering staff. Nevertheless, due to the ongoing efforts to improve the catering facilities, welfare and living conditions, lately we have observed tangible improvements in catering services and camp standards, coupled with a significant reduction in food poisoning outbreaks compared to the past.

What You Need to Know
|
|
|
|
Symptoms:
Food poisoning symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea with or without fever usually start within hours of eating contaminated food; however, some food poisoning may begin days or even weeks later. Food poisoning illness generally lasts from a few hours to several days.
|
|
|
Treatment:
Treatment for food poisoning typically depends on the source of the illness and the severity of the symptoms. For most people, the illness resolves itself without treatment within a few days, with fluid intake is the mainstay of treatment. You also need to avoid caffeine, alcohol and fatty food. Treatment with antibiotics is rarely indicated.
|
|
|
Catering Responsibility:
Catering staff who suffer from diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps or fever or have infected wounds or boils must inform their supervisor and visit the clinic for advice. They must not go back to work until declared fit to work by a medical professional.
