UK travelers have been warned about food poisoning in 13 countries. A Cambridge University study found high levels of food poisoning in some popular destinations.

The Foreign Office has issued a warning to take precautions when traveling outside the EU.

Travelers must follow good food and water hygiene advice. Visiting countries outside the EU increases the risk of infections like diarrhea or vomiting.

Between July and October 2023, many travelers to Egypt, Mexico, Tunisia, and Turkey got stomach bugs. The true number of infections may be higher.

Some destinations have high levels of food poisoning in UK tourists.

A study found 13 destinations with higher odds of food poisoning, including Egypt, Mexico, Tunisia, and Turkey.

Eating undercooked meat or fish and drinking unpurified water can increase the risk of illness. In high-risk destinations, eating foods from hotel buffets or environmental sources also increases the risk.

Travelers must take steps to stay safe.

If you get sick abroad, take action.
