How do you prevent food poisoning?

Food poisoning: Prevent food poisoning by protecting food from heat, discarding cans that have swollen and popped by internal pressure, and understanding your food source to be safe. Also cook food thoroughly to prevent bacterial infection.

Food Poisoning: Eating fresh food that has been thoroughly washed first is your best way to avoid food poisoning, do not eat foods that have sat out for long periods of time, especially any food containing mayonnaise. Be careful of any foods that have been out for awhile at restaurants, especially dairy products. Meats still remain the #1 cause of food poisoning. May sure you cook and eat meats that are cooked.
