#ISSSTE.- As part of the strategy to strengthen the preventive model in favor of the beneficiaries, the Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (Issste) implements actions to satisfy nutritional needs through food safety; above all, to optimize the healthy growth of children and improve the quality of life of the elderly, informed the General Director, Pedro Zenteno Santaella.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that every year 600 million people in the world fall ill from eating contaminated food and 420 thousand die from the same cause https://bit.ly/43Oi1p8. Therefore, it is extremely important to train nutrition specialists on the importance of the care and processing of food supplies to prevent gastrointestinal diseases, said the head of the institute, in the framework of World Food Safety Day, which is commemorated on June 7.

Jaqueline Valadez Pastor, nutritionist and head of the Food Service of the School of Dietetics and Nutrition (EDN) of Issste, explained that food safety must be generated from its production, handling, storage and consumption, that is, to ensure that throughout this process there are no health risks that could cause any disease.

The ailments attack the digestive system, he pointed out, and the most vulnerable population are children and the elderly, mainly during the hot season. Dehydration is the main symptom and constitutes the greatest risk, because it starts with uncontrolled vomiting and diarrhea and people can die.
