Salmonella, EHEC and noroviruses, campylobacter or listeria – there are numerous bacteria, viruses and parasites that can be transmitted to humans via food and can cause foodborne infections. Many of these quite unpleasant and sometimes life-threatening infections start at home in the kitchen – caused by improper handling of food, such as unsuitable storage or incorrect preparation. “Many people are not even aware that a lack of kitchen hygiene can be a real health risk, as our surveys show time and again,” says Professor Andreas Hensel, President of the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). “That is why we have chosen this topic as the focus of our stand at the Grüne Woche (in English: Green Week). We want to show our guests how this risk can be significantly minimised by taking simple measures.” This year's Grüne Woche takes place from 17 to 26 January and the BfR stand (No. 307) can be found in Hall 3.2 “Event Farm”.
