A four-year study in Southern California found that nearly 20% of urinary tract infections were linked to E. coli from contaminated meat, especially turkey and chicken, with a higher risk in low-income areas, highlighting the need for improved food safety practices and regulations.
A study links contaminated meat, especially chicken and turkey, to 20% of urinary tract infections in the U.S., highlighting food safety concerns and the need for proper meat handling practices.
A study finds that nearly 20% of urinary tract infections in Southern California are linked to E. coli from contaminated meat, especially chicken and turkey, with low-income communities at higher risk, highlighting a food safety concern that extends across the US.
A four-year study in Southern California found that nearly 20% of urinary tract infections were caused by E. coli bacteria from contaminated meat, highlighting a previously underrecognized foodborne source of UTIs and emphasizing the importance of proper food handling and stricter packaging regulations.
Contaminated meat could be responsible for nearly half a million urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the US each year, according to a study. Researchers found that around 8% of all E. coli cases, primarily UTIs, came from the consumption of food products. The study suggests that meat in the US is serving as a vehicle for E. coli that is causing UTIs. The findings could help reduce the incidence of these infections, for example, by vaccinating animals against the most dangerous strains. Food safety protocol is key to preventing E. coli contamination.
