Foodborne Illnesses Cause Millions of Deaths
The study indicates that foodborne diseases caused approximately 1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2021, with an increased risk associated with food contamination, including bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Experts emphasize that the primary cause lies in non-compliance with hygiene standards and the lack of safety procedures, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals are more vulnerable to these illnesses. These challenges are being addressed through improved preparation and storage practices, as well as raising awareness about the importance of personal hygiene and food safety.
