In light of recent outbreaks, temperature management to prevent E. Coli bacteria is at the heart of guidance from the UK government’s food safety body, the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
Thorough washing of fruit and vegetables is not enough on its own. Chilling food below 8⁰C and cooking food correctly by ensuring that the centre is at least 70⁰C is also strongly advised. Without such precautions, ingestion of harmful E. Coli can lead to gastroenteritis, UTIs and in the worst cases, kidney disease.
