Families get sick from food made at home more often than you think. When food is prepared unsafely, bacteria, viruses and parasites can contaminate your food and cause food-borne illness. It is estimated that there are 11 million cases of food-borne illness (also known as food poisoning) in Canada every year.

Fortunately, most cases can be prevented. Follow the 4 simple steps of CLEAN, SEPARATE, COOK and CHILL to help protect your family from food-borne illness at home.

For more information on food safety or to speak with a Public Health Inspector, call York Region Health Connection at: 1-800-361-5653, TTY 1-866-252-9933.
