Giải thích
Highly susceptible populations — the very young, the elderly, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals — are more likely to become seriously ill or die from foodborne pathogens. Establishments serving these groups, such as hospitals and nursing homes, must take extra precautions, like not serving raw or undercooked animal foods. Healthy young adults generally have stronger defenses.
