Lisa’s Kitchen CornerFood SafetyFood safety is very important for older adultsbecause they are at increased risk of food borneillness. As we age, our immune systems becomeweaker. We have less stomach acid to controlbacteria and our kidneys, which help filterbacteria from the blood, also weaken. Infectionsfrom food borne illness can be hard to treat andcan recur in older adults.In addition to following good food safety habits,there are certain foods that older adults shouldnot eat: Raw, rare or undercooked meats and poultry(rare hamburgers, carpaccio and beef or steaktartare) Raw fish (including sushi, sashimi, cevicheand carpaccio) Undercooked and raw shellfish (clams, oys-ters, mussels and scallops) Refrigerated smoked seafood Unpasteurized dairy products ("raw" milk andcheeses) Some fresh soft cheeses (Brie, Camembert,blue-veined varieties and Mexican-style quesofresco) unless made with pasteurized milk Raw or undercooked eggs (soft-cooked, runnyor poached) Raw sprouts (alfalfa, clover and radish) Deli salads Unpasteurized fruit and vegetable juices Refrigerated pate or meat spreads.Some ready-to-eat foods require reheating beforeuse. These foods include hot dogs, luncheon anddeli meats and fermented and dry sausages.Throw away packaged items once the "use-by"date has passed.If you think you have a food borne illness, contactyour health-care provider.
