美国农业部警告说,近60%的美国家庭有不卫生的厨房习惯,这增加了食物引起的疾病风险。 Nearly 60% of U.S. households have unsanitary kitchen habits, raising foodborne illness risks, USDA warns.

一项新的研究表明,近60%的美国家庭经常至少使用一种不卫生的厨房习惯,如对生肉和蔬菜使用同样的切割板,或将食物储存到过期之日。 A new study reveals that nearly 60% of American households regularly practice at least one unsanitary kitchen habit, such as using the same cutting board for raw meat and vegetables or storing food past its expiration date. 专家警告这些行为会增加食物引起的疾病风险,特别是在室内烹饪增加的冬季月份。 Experts warn these behaviors increase the risk of foodborne illness, especially during winter months when indoor cooking rises. 美国农业部建议洗涤切割板,对生食品和熟食品使用单独的用具,并定期检查冰箱温度以防止污染。 The U.S. Department of Agriculture advises washing cutting boards, using separate utensils for raw and cooked foods, and checking fridge temperatures regularly to prevent contamination.
