Here is a visual only chart of: Show card 1A Showcard on Food Standards Scotland template which has the following text: Some people are more likely to become ill and have severe symptoms from food poisoning, often because of differences in their immune system. These include: - Young children typically children under 5 years old - People with the following underlying health conditions: cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, liver or kidney disease. - People prescribed medications such as chemotherapy, immunosuppressants and proton pump inhibitors. - Those who are pregnant and their unborn babies. - Older adults typically people aged 65 and older. If someone fits into more than one of these groups, such as being older and having diabetes, the risk of getting very sick from food poisoning is increased.

These include: - Young children typically children under 5 years old, due to the immune system still developing. - People with the following underlying health conditions: cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, liver or kidney disease. - People prescribed medications such as chemotherapy, immunosuppressants and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs, e.g. omeprazole; used to reduce the production of stomach acid). - Those who are pregnant and their unborn babies. - Older adults typically people aged 65 and older, because the immune system starts to weaken around this age.

Just follow the 4Cs when preparing and cooking food to stay safe. Chilling - Keep your fridge between 0 degrees Celsius and 5 degrees Celsius - use a fridge thermometer to check this. - Always follow use-by dates. Cleaning - Always wash your hands in warm, soapy water before preparing meals and especially after handling raw meat or poultry. Avoid Cross-contamination - Never wash raw chicken! This can spread germs around your sink and kitchen. - Use different chopping boards and utensils for raw meat/poultry and ready-to-eat food (or wash between use), Cooking - Cook food thoroughly until steaming hot.
