Fear of Listeriosis
Due to the recent media attention of Maple Leaf Foods and the Listeriosis outbreaks, more people are fearful of their food safety. This is one of the reasons many people choose to stay away from processed foods, eat more organics and follow the 100 Mile Diet.
Maple Leaf has been a well respected company for many generations but when something goes wrong with such a huge company, the impact is massive. Many people are sick and many have died because so many people eat food from this company. Because they package meats for many other brands, the problems aren’t even limited to just their own trademark which can hurt other brands as well.
Regardless of all of this, a good theory to follow is to minimize the amount of processed foods you eat and to maximise your health and wellness efforts so you are in a great position to be able to fend off any illnesses that do happen to come your way.
Tomorrow, we’ll discuss ways you can minimize food poisoning impact.
