With the pandemic, most people stay at home due to the work from home and online learning setup we have, thus we often enjoy home cooked meals to satisfy our daily needs or our cravings. However Limon (2021) reveals that foodborne disease (FBD) outbreaks happen more frequently with home-cooked meals than from food establishments, this can be due to that the person preparing or handling the food is not equipped with enough knowledge about food borne bacteria or are inexperienced when it comes to practicing food safety protocols/practices which increases the risk of food borne disease outbreaks. Moreover, foodborne disease (FBD) outbreaks are caused by food handling or preparation errors such as improper cooking or storage practices, reheating, undercooking, cooling of food, inadequate preparation, cross contamination, insufficient processing and poor hygiene.

Recognizing these problems, we, 3rd year BS Biology students of West Visayas State University, share our infographics to impart awareness of the common food borne disease causing bacteria, its sources, effects, and preventive measures.

Seafood 🍤 Safe food 🍲 Save lives 🙌

As an archipelago consisting of 7100+ islands and islets and surrounded by one ocean and three seas, it is no wonder that seafood is abundant across our country from Batanes to Sulu. According to SEAFDEC (2017), a single Filipino consumes about 40 kg/year (109 grams/day), which is 12.8% of a Filipino’s total food intake. Moreover, 14.06% of foodborne disease outbreaks originated from seafood in 2005-2018. Thus, it is crucial for Filipinos to know about seafood safety, and with that said, the Microbiology students of West Visayas State University present an infographic regarding seafood safety.

Over the past ten years, the demand for leafy green vegetables is increasing, indicating a shift in people's diets. Filipinos are no strangers to vegetables, especially those who are in the rural areas and countryside. Laswa is a popular vegetable soup recipe that is a mixture of various plant ingredients, some of which may be found in your backyard. With the ease of its preparation and low cost, there is no doubt why it is such a staple in our tables.

However, just as easy are the ingredients sourced, so are food borne pathogens that may be attached to it. With that said, it's time to ask the question: HOW PRESKA IS YOUR LASWA?

Life in the city is fast-paced, and thus fast food is often the go-to food for everyone with a hectic schedule. Foods like burger, fries, milktea, and many streetfoods are one of the many fastfoods that everyone loves. They are cheap, quick, delicious, and satisfies hunger.

For instance, Burgers are one of the ideal fastfoods one could buy. It's a well balanced meal composed of meat, vegetables, and cheese sandwiched by a hamburger bun and provides the right amounts of energy and nutrient that can keep you going in a busy day.

However, like all foods, it is also prone to harmful microbes. Having a fast paced lifestyle, we sometimes forget to notice how our food is prepared.

This shows that proper sanitation and food preparation is important in fastfood. Improper practice of sanitation and food preparation could often lead to many illnesses like food poisoning, diarrhea, and many others.

Below is an anatomy of a burger with all of the possible pathogens and the proper methods in preparing it.

Don't forget to save this infographic if you find this helpful.

Always remember to eat healthy and clean.
