The Food Safety Information Council (FSIC) has urged consumers not to become complacent about food poisoning.
The message comes as part of Australian Food Safety Week which runs from Nov. 13 to 20. The focus is on food safety in emergency situations and how understanding the hazards and preparing for them can help reduce risks associated with foodborne illness and contamination.
Each year, there are an estimated 4.1 million cases of food poisoning in the country which result in 31,920 hospitalizations, 86 deaths and a million visits to doctors.
