This app is designed for Moms-to-be and provides information created by the USDA and FDA that provides practical guidance on how to reduce your risk of foodborne illness.
When you become pregnant, your body naturally undergoes hormonal changes, some of which also change your immune system, making you more susceptible to contracting a foodborne illness. Additionally, as your unborn child has an under-developed immune system, you and your unborn child are at higher risk for foodborne illness.
The good news is that you can take special effort to select, store and prepare foods, to learn what to order when eating out/ordering in. Have pregnancy cravings or trying to stick to real food? Review the lists to see if a food is safe to eat.
The content provides practical tips to help you prevent contracting foodborne diseases. It includes information on how to read labels in the grocery store to ensure fresh food, how and where to store food and for how long after stored it is safe to consume. It includes tables/charts showing the safe temperature to cook foods, particularly meats and eggs, and includes safe temperatures to reheat leftovers.
