高危一族的食物安全貼士
Food Safety Tips for Vulnerable Population Groups

有些人較易因進食受微生物污染的食物而患病，例如免疫系統功能較低的人士、長者、孕婦、幼童及嬰兒等。他們一旦感染常見的食源性致病菌，可能會出現較嚴重的病徵，而不只是腹瀉和嘔吐等輕微症狀。高危人士要預防病從口入，必須嚴格遵從食物安全及衞生守則。
Some population groups, including persons with weakened immunity, elderly, pregnant women, young children and infants, are more susceptible to foodborne illness. These people, if infected by common foodborne pathogens, may develop more severe symptoms than just mild ones such as diarrhoea and vomiting. Strict observance of food safety and hygiene is important to prevent exposure to pathogens that can cause disease in people at risk.
