Can you get food poisoning if you thoroughly cook your food and eat it promptly?

Yes, it is still possible to get food poisoning even if you thoroughly cook your food and eat it promptly. This can occur if the food was contaminated before cooking, such as during handling or preparation, or if it was stored improperly before cooking. Additionally, some pathogens can produce toxins that are not destroyed by cooking. Therefore, proper food handling and storage practices are essential to minimize the risk of foodborne illness.
