Search CNN Networks SPECIALS Quick News Almanac Video Vault News Quiz Washing produce helps prevent food poisoning April 30, 1998 Web posted at: 6:17 p.m. EDT (2217 GMT) From Correspondent Carolyn O'Neil ATLANTA (CNN) When it comes to produce, fresh does not always equal clean. With the average American consuming 300 pounds of fresh produce per year, cleanliness is becoming increasingly important. And often, the kitchen sink is the last line of defense in making sure fruits and vegetables are clean and safe to eat. For consumers, it's important to store fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator when you bring them home from the market. If produce is not stored in refrigerated temperatures, any bacteria in these foods can multiply and certainly make you sick. Wash each piece of fruit carefully, especially if you intend to consume it raw. Although this step will not kill bacteria, it will reduce its numbers. Lettuce leaves should be rinsed individually under cool tap water. Root vegetables should be scrubbed, even if you plan on peeling them later. After all, they were grown underground.

Only a small proportion of infected people are tested and diagnosed, and as few as 1% of cases are actually reported. While the infection reate may seem relatively low, even an attack rate of less than 0.5% in such a large number of exposures results in many infected individuals.

Symptoms of food poisoning usually involve the prompt onset of vomiting and diarrhea . Some toxins also affect the nervous system. Description Classical food poisoning, sometimes incorrectly called ptomaine poisoning, is caused by a variety of different bacteria. The most common are Salmonella Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli Shigella , and Clostridium botulinum . Each has a slightly different incubation period and duration, but all except C. botulinum cause inflammation of the intestines and diarrhea. Sometimes food poisoning is called bacterial gastroenteritis or infectious diarrhea. Food and water can also be contaminated by viruses ( cholera ), environmental toxins (heavy metals), and poisons produced within the food itself ( mushroom poisoning or fish and shellfish poisoning Careless food handling creates conditions for the growth of bacteria that make people sick. Food can become contaminated at many different points during its trip from farm to table. Vegetables that are eaten raw, such as lettuce, may be contaminated by bacteria in soil, water, and dust during washing and packing. Home canned and commercially canned food may be improperly processed at too low a temperature or for too short a time to kill the bacteria.
