摘要：More Americans are eating
their hamburgers more
thoroughly cooked, partly
due to greater awareness of the
health risks of eating undercooked
meat. The change in behavior means
fewer cases of foodborne illness
than would otherwise have occurred
because thorough cooking
kills harmful bacteria that may be
present in the meat, such as E. coli
O157:H7, Campylobacter or Salmonella.
The changes also mean lower
medical costs and productivity
losses due to foodborne illnesses
associated with rare and mediumrare
hamburger. Understanding
which consumers already follow
food safety recommendations and
why can help food safety educators
reach more consumers through targeting
and designing food safety
messages.
