Common foods at risk of parasitic infections
Undercooked meat (pork, beef, and fish)
Raw or undercooked meat, including pork, beef, and fish, can contain parasites such as tapeworms and roundworms. These parasites are transmitted when the meat has not reached the proper internal temperature. For example, undercooked pork can contain the Trichinella parasite, which causes trichinellosis, and fish can contain the Anisakis nematode, which causes anisakiasis. These parasites can cause serious health problems, so it is essential to cook meat thoroughly.

Raw or Undercooked Mussels and Other
Bivalves Bivalves (oysters, clams, and rapani) are filter-feeding organisms that accumulate parasites from polluted waters. They can carry trematodes (flatworms) that infect humans. Consuming raw or undercooked bivalves significantly increases the risk of ingesting these parasites and can lead to long-term health consequences.
