Just like a bungee cord snapping back to its original shape, the incidence of foodborne pathogens has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels. A new study published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report reveals that these pesky pathogens are once again wreaking havoc in our food supply. But fear not, dear reader, for this bounce-back is merely a sign of things returning to normal. It seems that as COVID-19 restrictions eased, so did our diligent safety practices in the kitchen. It’s as if the microbes sensed our complacency and seized the opportunity to make a comeback! This study is a timely reminder that we must remain vigilant in our efforts to prevent foodborne illness. So, what can we do about it? Well, we should continue practicing good food handling and hygiene habits, such as proper handwashing and thorough cooking. While we bounce back from this setback, let’s remember that knowledge is power. So go ahead and dive into the underlying research to discover more about these sneaky little pathogens!
The incidence of pathogens commonly transmitted through food generally increased to pre-pandemic levels in 2022, according to research published in the June 30 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
