Uyityile into evela kukuKhumbula ukutya; Ngoku kuthweni?

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Kwinyanga ephelileyo, akukho ngaphantsi kwesine sokutya okukhunjulwayo kokutya okwenziwe kwimixholo ephambili, kusenza wonke umntu akhuphe malunga nama-walnuts, i-mac 'n' cheese, kunye nokunye. Kwaye kwiveki ephelileyo, iitapile ezithile zakhunjulwa emva kokudityaniswa ne-botulism. Kwaye ayipheleli apho: Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyaka, abasemagunyeni kwezempilo bakhuphe uninzi ikhulu uyakhumbula.

ISebe lezoLimo laseMelika (USDA), elijongana nenyama kunye neenkukhu ezikhumbulayo, likhuphe ezisixhenxe kwiveki ephelileyo. Kwaye loo nto ayiqhelekanga, ngokoluhlu lwabo olupheleleyo lokukhumbula kunye nezilumkiso. Ulawulo lwezoKutya kunye noLawulo lweziyobisi (i-FDA), ejongene nezinye iimveliso zokutya-ukusuka kwiisosi kunye neziqholo ukuvelisa-uluhlu ngaphezulu kwama-60 akhumbula izinto zokutya kwingxelo yokunyanzeliswa kweveki.

Ewe ezinye izinto ezikhunjulwayo zinzulu kunezinye. Iklasi endiyikhumbulayo ibandakanya "imeko yengozi yezempilo apho kunokwenzeka ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwemveliso kuya kubangela iziphumo ezibi, zempilo okanye ukufa," utshilo u-Alexandra Tarrant, ingcali kwimicimbi yoluntu kunye ne-USDA. Ezi zizinto ezinkulu ezifana noluhlu lwe-listeria okanye u-E. Coli, kwaye uza kuva ngazo ezindabeni. (I-Tarrant ithi ngokuxhomekeke kubungakanani bendawo yokukhumbula, oko kunokubandakanya nje iindaba zenethiwekhi yendawo okanye iphepha-kodwa mhlawumbi hayi iindawo zelizwe.)

Udidi II ukhumbule ukuba iimveliso zinamandla okudala imiba yezempilo, kodwa loo nto inokwenzeka "ikude" kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiso esichengeni sobomi, utshilo uTarrant. Ukhumbula ukuba iklasi yesithathu ayizukukhokelela kwiingxaki zempilo, utshilo. Ngokwemathiriyeli ye-FDA, ukukhumbula uKlasi III kudla ngokuphulwa kwemithetho yokuleyibhile okanye yokuvelisa. (Iinkqubo zokuhlelwa kwe-FDA kunye ne-USDA ngokufanayo ziyafana.)

Xa kuziwa kwinyama, inkxalabo ihlala ibangela ibacteria ebangela ukugula njenge salmonella okanye E. coli, okanye iiparasites ezinjenge trichinella okanye i-cryptosporidia, utshilo uRobert Tauxe, MD, usekela mlawuli weCandelo lokutya, Amanzi kunye nezifo zokusingqongileyo kumaziko Ulawulo kunye noThintelo lwezifo (CDC).

“Umngcipheko wosulelo uyaphindaphindeka xa inyama echetywe kwizilwanyana ezininzi icolwa kunye,” utshilo uTauxe. Oko kwenza ihambhega okanye umhlaba wehagu, imvana kunye neturkey kuyingxaki ngakumbi.

Ke wenza ntoni ukuba uthenge okanye u-gulp! Yenza imveliso ekhunjulwayo? Okokuqala, musa ukuphazamiseka. UTarrant uthi ukukhumbula okuninzi kukhutshwa ngenxa yokuba ubungqina bengxaki buvela kwindawo yokuvelisa ukutya okanye kwindawo yokulungisa ukutya, hayi kuba abantu bayagula. Ucebisa ukuba ufunde ngokushicilelwa kwe-USDA okanye ye-FDA kwisikhumbuzo, kunye nokubeka iliso kwiimpawu zokugula.

Ukuba awuziva mnandi, "ngokuqinisekileyo ubone ugqirha okanye ugqirha," utshilo uTarrant. "Bazise ukuba utye imveliso oyikhumbulayo, kwaye ubaxelele into oyaziyo malunga nokukhumbula." Oko kuya kunceda ugqirha wakho akuphathe ngokufanelekileyo, kwaye uya kumvumela ukuba azise i-CDC kunye nesebe lezempilo likarhulumente malunga nomngcipheko kwabanye abathengi.

Ukuba uye waba kakhulu uyagula, tsiba iofisi kagqirha wakho uye esibhedlele, utshilo uTarrant. Kwakhona, qiniseka ukuba ubazise ukuba ukholelwa ukuba utyile imveliso yokutya ekhunjulwayo.

Ukuya kuthi ga kwimbuyekezo yezonyango, uTarrant uthi ngumba osemthethweni phakathi kwakho nomenzi wokutya, umsasazi, okanye ivenkile-kuxhomekeke ekubeni ngubani onetyala. Amathuba alungile ukuba nabani na okuthengisele ukutya okunetyhefu uya kufuna ukulungisa izinto. "Kodwa ayisiyiyo into eyonganyelwe yi-USDA okanye i-FDA," utshilo uTarrant.

Xa kuziwa kwimbuyekezo yemveliso, ucebisa ukuba ujonge ukukhumbula ukukhutshwa kweendaba kwi-USDA okanye kwi-FDA. Ngokwesiqhelo, nabani na okuthengisele imveliso uya kukhupha imbuyiselo.

Ngoko ke uya: i-ins kunye nokuphuma kokutya khumbula. Ngoku, ngubani olambileyo?
