Reading
Parasites are organisms that need a living host to survive. They require a host to live and reproduce. Proper cooking and freezing kills most parasites. Parasites come from seafood, wild game, and food processed with contaminated water such as produce.
Prevention
- Purchase food from approved, reputable suppliers
- Cook food to required minimum internal temperatures
- Fish that will be served raw or undercooked must be frozen correctly by the manufacturer
