Food Premises Operators
Thousands of people in Ontario suffer from food poisoning each year. Most cases of food poisoning occur when people eat food containing bacterial toxins. Bacteria cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste and at the right temperature, can multiply to millions in a few short hours, which may lead to illness. Symptoms associated with food poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever or cramps.
The good news, however, is that most cases of food poisoning can be avoided altogether if food is handled properly.
