How can hemolytic uremic syndrome be prevented?

Most cases of E. coli-related HUS can be prevented by thorough washing and cooking of food products. The vast majority of cases of HUS are caused by poor food handling from the farmer to the wholesaler and grocer. Proper washing and cooking techniques in the kitchen is the key to prevention.
