Food Safety for Travelers

Provided by Keep Food Safe Organization 

Food is an integral part of any international travel experience, but sampling local cuisine also carries the risk of foodborne illness. However, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the unique flavors of your travel destination. Careful planning, a few simple precautions, and some basic knowledge about food safety for travelers can help you stay healthy and enjoy your trip to the fullest.


Keep Food Safe is an organization founded to support those who have been poisoned and made ill by food that they trusted from other parties. No matter how many stages food must goes through to make it to the consumer: from the provider, to the transporters, to the stores, or to a restaurant, people have a right to trust the food they eat, and for their health to not be jeopardized.
