5 kinds of products that deteriorate unnoticed

We do not want to scare you, but it really seriously. In 2018, the WHO called 2018: Ten human health threats this year food poisoning one of the ten threats to the health of mankind. In this list, they go along with natural disasters and Malaria.

Each year 600 million people get sick because of tainted or contaminated products. It's about every tenth inhabitant of the planet.

Some bacterial pathogens are difficult to notice. Of them food is not covered by a multi-colored moldy and does not smell, as the litter box. These vile products will look great and asks in his mouth. But you do not give in: watch storage conditions and well-processed foods. Telling where you could pose a threat.

1. eggs

• What is the danger: in raw egg and its shell can live Salmonella, E. coli and other pathogens.
• How to avoid: wash before use, bring to readiness.

Before eating should be washed not only hands, but also eggs. And not just the whole package, as well as use. Factories eggs

Eggs for cooking enough rinse under running water. Preferably cook them hard-boiled, that is not less than 10-15 minutes. To disinfect the egg cream or test, it is better to wash them with soap and water or hold it in a soda solution before use.

Olga Bondarchuk, an infectious diseases doctor of the highest qualification category of clinical and diagnostic center "Medincenter" (branch GlavUpDK at the Russian Foreign Ministry)

Separate raw eggs pose a danger: in the custard, dessert, sauce "Caesar". For example, tiramisu can be prepared only with the freshest eggs and leave to impregnation exclusively in a cold place.

What can happen

"One day after work, I did not have the strength to cook, so I decided to fry eggs. I've never washed eggs and did not think that something can happen. The shell looked like usual, I left the yolk fluid - so tasty. The next morning I felt sick: nausea, frequent trips to the bathroom. Then fever, vomited. Colleagues took me to the hospital. Diagnosis - salmonellosis. I have lain in infektsionke another two weeks. Now I wash everything, including bananas and tangerines. "

2. Meat

• What is the danger: It may be infected Parasites in the meattapeworms and other parasites, different types of bacteria, such as Toxoplasma.
• How to avoid: cooking at high temperatures, freezing, do not store more than two days, even in the refrigerator.

When you buy fresh meat, it is better to cook it the same day, or freeze. When the piece appeared yellowish or blue spots - a bacteria. There is a temptation to cut the top layer and prepared rest. But it is better not to do so: the microbes penetrate the entire depth.

Bacteria multiply very quickly in the heat, so in hot weather or undercooked steak carpaccio - a big risk. Roast thoroughly meat need to fully pre-pickling. Even 30 minutes in wine or lemon juice will help get rid of germs.

The temperature at which die all types of bacteria - 120 degrees.

Stuffing - even more insidious Microbiology of meat and meat products product. In its structure there is air, which helps to share germs. When the stuffing get cuts of different animals, grows the risk of cross-contamination - bacteria transition from one environment to another. Check, how many meat cows got into the beef, it is impossible if you do not make it home in one piece. Therefore, in the summer is also better burgers roast thoroughly completely.

Sausage and sausage products seem to be no expiration date. But it they have. Sliced ​​sausage or open a pack of hot dogs need to eat a couple of days, especially if they are out of the refrigerator.

What can happen

"Once I ran to study hungry and decided to eat the pigs in blankets. On the counter there were many, all hot and fresh in appearance. I ate quickly, so only in the middle of the sausages felt a strange sour taste. But for the hot test, he felt weak. I quickly finished her all washed down with tea. After a couple of hours I was very twisted, and the whole day was a wild pain in the stomach. More pigs in blankets, I did not eat. "

Nastya, 28 years old.

3. Finished products

• What is the danger: The more people and equipment for food, the higher the risk of cross-contamination.
• How to avoid: cook yourself.

Mayonnaise salads by weight. Sets for kebab marinated. Even cutting fresh vegetables or fruit. They passed through many hands, cutting boards and tar. The more contacts - the more different bacteria. Mayonnaise mask the taste, so you do not notice how some bread to devour a salad.

The salads with mayonnaise quickly grow staphylococci, so the buyer runs the risk of getting an infection. It can occur very difficult: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Especially I do not recommend to buy the pre-cut melons and watermelons in the summer. Even with a clean knife at them go stafilokkok, streptococci and other microbes, which rapidly fall in sugar-containing fruits and berries.

Please note that cooked foods are How Long Can You Leave Cooked Foods Unrefrigerated? spend out of the refrigerator no more than two hours. Not in a row, and in the aggregate. Danger is even cakes, pastries and cookies, which is composed of butter, cream, eggs and margarine.

What can happen

"One summer I bought muffins pechenyushki that terribly poisoned. They looked and smelled wonderful. They also were tasty! Only when I had eaten half of the package, I felt disgusted, bitter oily aftertaste. Maybe the oil in the composition was stale, but can - incorrectly stored cookies. I felt bad all day. Now I check the expiration date and composition, try to take cookies without butter and margarine. "

"Polisorb" rescue you in all poisoning, toxicosis, diarrhea, hangoverAnd more help with complex treatment allergies. As there are no colors or preservatives, it does not deteriorate after opening the package or in the heat. You will be able to store "Polisorb" in all circumstances and to take along for the ride. This powder without taste and odor to be stirred into water, juice or milk.

4. Fish and seafood

• What is the danger: Fish begins to decompose Microbiology of fish and fish products at a temperature of 15 ° CRotting process goes very quickly.
• How to avoid: buy frozen fish, fresh cooking immediately and carefully roast thoroughly.

Fresh seafood not tolerate room temperature, but in the cold can not lie days. If raw shrimp or filet lain in the refrigerator more than 12 hours, do not have tartar for a nice summer dinner.

They may seem ideal, or just a little harder to smell fish, but actually swarming with bacteria. Good seafood is fried or baked in the oven. In the summer it is better to take frozen or salted fish - so you will protect yourself from parasites and microbes.

What can happen

"One day, I bought fresh salmon at the fish department of a good supermarket. The street was very hot, but the road to the house took only 15 minutes. I put the fish in the refrigerator, and in the evening to cook. Salmon is easy to dry up, so I made steaks medium rare. It was very tasty, no suspicious flavors. But at night and me and my husband I felt bad - terrible indigestion, nausea. The next day at the food was painful to watch. I think we have just summed up the summer heat and a weak prozharka ".

5. Cheese and dairy products

• What is the danger: They can be gone long before the expiry date, if stored properly.
• How to avoid: take pasteurized products not purchased in store.

After opening the packaging yoghurts and cheese begins to oxidize, so it is advisable to eat them in one day. If you leave open a pack in the refrigerator, it may appear on the treacherous white fluff, which is not always easy to see. Remove the fluff and eat the rest - a bad idea.

Mold - a fungus. It forms a mycelium, which spreads throughout the product thickness. Therefore, when there is mold, it all becomes unfit for human consumption. In addition, the fungus alters the taste quality of the entire product, not just a piece where mold is evident.

Olga Bondarchuk

If you feel bitterness or sourness in the first spoonful, ruthlessly discard the milk product. Even if the expiration date has not expired. Your health is clearly more expensive than the amount that you have given for the yogurt.

Farm milk and cheese can spoil in a few hours. Remember that when you buy products with it, no one can guarantee you that they went through the necessary steps of monitoring and quality control.

How to avoid becoming a victim of artful products:

• Check the expiration date at all.
• When opening the container or jar, attach a sticker with the date.
• Get in the refrigerator basket labeled "Quick eat" and to put products with a small shelf life.
• Wash everything that can be washed, even if you're not going to have a skin.
• Keep a separate board for meat and sanitize it with vinegar, hydrogen peroxide or antibacterial agents.
• In hot weather, a well-roasted meat, fish and eggs.
• Separate raw and cooked food to avoid cross-contamination.
• Cut vegetables, fruit and meat at home, do not buy ready-made kits.
• Keep a adsorbent and immediately take it, if you still have eaten something wrong.

Due to the sensitivity of the topic, not all heroes were ready to march under his real name. Some of the names in the material changed.
