Production Storage
Store unwashed fruits and vegetables in a cool, dry place. After washing, refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. Wash them immediately before eating, not before storing.
Risk-reducing options
Heat-treated or pasteurized alternatives
If you enjoy sushi, oysters, or other raw foods, opt for cooked alternatives to minimize your risks. Many restaurants offer safe, cooked sushi or grilled bivalves.
