'Healthy' Restaurant Foods Cause Most Illness
Restaurant foods considered to be healthy -- lettuce, uncooked vegetables, seafood, and ethnic food -- actually cause the most outbreaks of restaurant-related foodborne illness, according to an analysis of data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The analysis by Healthinspections.com revealed that lettuce-based salads, tomatoes, and vegetables were the leading cause of food poisoning outbreaks in U.S. restaurants in 2005. Seafood and ethnic foods were the second-leading cause.
Lettuce-based salads, tomatoes and vegetables served in restaurants caused 49 outbreaks of foodborne illness in the U.S. in 2005, according to the Web site, which said that these foods are easily contaminated if a food worker's hands are not clean.
Restaurant seafood and ethnic food each caused 43 outbreaks of foodborne illness in 2005.
