A closer look: The impact of foodborne illness Foodborne illness, commonly referred to as food poisoning, is caused by ingesting any food or water contaminated with disease-causing microorganisms or chemicals. Thoroughly cooking food is an effective way to kill these microorganisms and prevent foodborne illness. In the table, match the food with its safe and proper cooking temperature.
