Bizasaba imbaraga nkeya zo koza izo mbuto n'imboga 12 zishobora kuba zanduye imiti yica udukoko.

     Imiti yica udukokohamwe nindi miti iri hafi yibyo kurya byose kuva mububiko bw'ibiribwa kugeza kumeza yawe. Ariko twakoze urutonde rwimbuto 12 zishobora kuba zirimo imiti, nimbuto 15 zidashobora kuba zirimo imiti.
Waba ugura imbuto n'imboga nziza, ugura mu gice kama cya supermarket, cyangwa se amashaza yatoraguwe na pound kumurima waho, bakeneye kozwa mbere yo kurya cyangwa kwitegura.
Kubera akaga ka bagiteri nka E. coli, salmonella, na listeria, kwanduzanya, amaboko yabandi, hamwe n’imiti itandukanye iguma ku mboga mu buryo bw’imiti yica udukoko cyangwa imiti igabanya ubukana, imboga zose zigomba kwozwa mu mwobo mbere yuko zijya mu kanwa kawe. Nibyo, ibi birimo imboga kama, nkuko kama idasobanura imiti yica udukoko; bivuze gusa ko nta miti yica udukoko twangiza, ibyo bikaba ari imyumvire mibi mubaguzi benshi.
Mbere yo guhangayikishwa cyane n’ibisigisigi byica udukoko mu musaruro wawe, tekereza ko Porogaramu ya USDA yica udukoko twangiza udukoko (PDF) yasanze ibice birenga 99 ku ijana by’ibicuruzwa byapimwe bifite ibisigara ku rwego rwujuje ubuziranenge bw’umutekano washyizweho n’ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije, naho 27 ku ijana nta bisigazwa by’udukoko twangiza.
Muri make: Ibisigara bimwe nibyiza, ntabwo imiti yose mubiribwa ari mibi, kandi ntugomba guhagarika umutima niba wibagiwe koza imbuto n'imboga bike. Pome, kurugero, yashizwemo ibishashara byo mu rwego rwibiribwa kugirango bisimbuze ibishashara bisanzwe byoza mugihe cyo gukaraba nyuma yisarura.

Kumenya ibiryo bishoboka cyane kuba birimo imiti yica udukoko birashobora kugufasha guhitamo ibiryo kama wakoresha amafaranga yinyongera. Nkuko nabyize iyo usesenguye ibiciro byibiribwa kama nibidafite kama, ntabwo biri hejuru nkuko ubitekereza.
Ibicuruzwa bifite ibibyimba birinda ibidukikije ntibishobora kuba birimo imiti yica udukoko ishobora kwangiza.
Icyitegererezo cya 15 gisukuye cyari gifite urwego ruto rwo kwanduza udukoko twangiza udukoko twose twapimwe, ariko ntibisobanuye ko badafite umwanda wica udukoko.
