出門旅遊既令人心情興奮,又可增廣見聞,但亦有潛在風險。受污染的水或食物可能引致各種疾病,當中包括輕微和短期的徵狀(例如嘔吐、腹瀉等),以及長期和較嚴重的疾病(例如霍亂、甲型肝炎等)。旅遊人士在外地時務須保持警覺,以免染上經食物或水傳播的疾病。

(1) Food Safety Tips for Travellers

 

Travelling can be exciting and rewarding, but can also carry potential risks. Contaminated water or food can cause a variety of diseases that range from mild and short-lived symptoms (e.g. vomiting, diarrhoea) to longer and more severe diseases (e.g. cholera, hepatitis A). Travellers should remain vigilant when abroad and take the following precautionary measures to prevent food- or water-borne illness.

(2) Safe Food For All - Five Keys to Food Safety

 

Preventing foodborne diseases (food poisoning) requires cooperation among all members of the food chain. Many cases of foodborne illness occur sporadically and are often caused by preventable behaviours such as consuming raw or undercooked foods and engaging in unsafe practices of food preparation. By adopting the Five Keys to Food Safety, most foodborne diseases can be prevented.
