Hepatitis A Infosheet
The Food Safety Network, a partnership between the University of Guelph, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and Kansas State University, in Manhattan, Kansas, posted its most recent food safety infosheet recently. This infosheet, as seen to the left, is on the topic of hepatitis A outbreaks.
Potential hepatitis A outbreaks have recently been reported in several states. Infected food workers can transmit hepatitis A by practicing improper hygiene, and restaurant customers have been warned that they have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus and advised to receive Immune globulin shots to prevent infection with hepatitis A. Preventive measures are only good for the two weeks after inital exposure to the virus.
