Abstract:

CDC estimates that each year 1 in 6 Americans (about 48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die of
foodborne diseases. Communication plays a fundamental role in that and we need to use an effective health communication
in order to prevent foodborne illness with a new integrated model. MASSI- Care is a new method that gives opportunity to all
the consumers to understand the possible hazard in an easy way. MASSI-Care is an abbreviation for (Method for Acquiring
Specific Scientific Information on Care) which by using simple pictogram gives the opportunity to synthesise if a food could be
safe or not for particular individuals. This new method could help consumers with specific immune problems to understand
if food can be eaten without risk or not (e.g. young people, pregnant and immunosuppressed). With “One-Health concept”,
physicians (MD and DVM), biologists and journalists with particular interest on medicine, could work in synergy to prevent
illness simply using a shared, common, language as a way forward.
