According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals with weakened immune systems are at a significantly higher risk for severe illness, hospitalization, or even death from foodborne infections. A high-risk food for a patient with an immunosuppressed system is any food that harbors bacteria, viruses, or parasites and is not processed or cooked sufficiently to eliminate these pathogens.
