The following sites may be of interest to people interested in the topics of foodborne illness and food safety. These sites are not necessarily endorsed or supported by S.T.O.P. but provide additional background on the topic of food safety issues, medical care or protecting consumers from foodborne illness. We particularly abhor messages that suggest that consumers can be responsible for poisoning their families. Biohazardous organisms come into your home on the food you purchase and they are served to you on plates in restaurants. These organisms come into contact with the foods you buy because industry and government do not ensure safe foods.
Consumers can only attempt to prevent food poisoning and the spread of pathogens.
The responsibility for food contamination belongs squarely on the shoulders of the source of contamination. Please take a look at these sites. If you have others to suggest, we are interested in knowing about them. It provides information on a number of foodborne illness topics.
