Food Borne Illness People can get sick when the food they eat has germs.
Germs cause food borne illness or food poisoning.
Germs grow easily in foods like meat, fish, poultry, milk, re-fried beans, cooked rice, and baked potatoes. These are called potentially hazardous foods . These are all foods that are moist or damp, and they have protein that the germs need to grow. Part of your job is to protect the food and to stop germs from growing, so that no one will get sick. First, wash your hands well.
