When traveling to areas with poor sanitation:
- Drink only bottled or boiled water
- Avoid ice cubes unless made from purified water
- Skip salads or raw produce unless you washed it yourself
- Avoid street food unless it’s cooked in front of you and served hot
Optional Swaps for Safer Eating
- Cooked oysters instead of raw
- Seared or fully cooked sushi rolls instead of sashimi
- Pasteurized cheeses instead of unpasteurized brie or feta
- Homegrown or organic produce washed and prepped safely
You don’t have to give up your favorite foods—just choose smarter, safer alternatives.
