Foodborne pathogens can cause illness through infection or intoxication. Proper food handling like washing hands and surfaces, separating raw and cooked foods, and cooking to safe temperatures can help prevent illness. Food safety also involves chilling and reheating foods properly and being aware of risks from natural toxins, pesticide and drug residues, and environmental contaminants in some foods.
