Welcome  to  Public  Health  moment from  the  University  of  Minnesota. Leafy,  green  vegetables  are  good  for  you, your  mom  told  you  that. But  they're  also  ranked  number  one  in a  top  ten  list  of  riskiest  foods  as  regulated  by  the  FDA. Other  risky  foods  include  eggs, tuna,  fish,  tomatoes,  sprouts  and  berries. The  top  ten  list  doesn't  include  meat  which is  regulated  by  the  US  Department  of  Agriculture. Craig  Hedberg,  a  professor  and  food safety  expert  at  the  University  of  Minnesota, explains  what  this  means. One  of  the  top  riskiest  foods  is  leafy  green  vegetables. And  this  is  top  on  the  list  because  it  accounted  for the  most  outbreaks  in  a  large  number  of  illnesses. But  it's  also  top  on  the  list, partly  because  people  eat  so  much  leafy,  green  food. Hedberg  recommends  reducing  your  risk  of  developing a  food  borne  illness  by keeping  a  clean  and  orderly  kitchen. Kitchen  hygiene  is  very  important. We  want  to  make  sure  that  when we're  working  with  raw  meats  and  poultry, we  don't  cross  contaminate and  make  bigger  problems  of  handling  fresh  produce. Washing  hands  wells,  cleaning and  sanitizing  work  surfaces  is very  important  to  making  sure that  food  is  as  safe  as  it  can  be. With  another  public  health  moment,  I'm  John  Finnegan.
