This Dish Is The Biggest Food Poisoning Culprit

Infographic about the different causes of food poisoning

Do you like to live life on the edge when you’re eating? Some people avoid food that’s been sitting out for a while, while others love the risk.   

I’m talking about spotting shrimp cocktail at a party that’s been sitting on a buffet table for hours or ordering fish at a new restaurant and wondering if you made the right choice.

It’s nothing personal to all the sea creatures out there, but there has to be a reason that every film or TV character gets sick from bad seafood. That’s why it’s funny to learn that fish and shellfish are the least likely to cause food poisoning.

It’s actually fresh fruit and vegetables that will do you in and make your stomach (and bathroom) very unhappy. They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but is anyone asking what kind of apple? How has it been treated to preserve its color, and how do I know it won’t actually keep the doctor by my bedside for weeks?

The point is, most of us don’t really know much about what we consume unless we’ve grown and cooked it ourselves. So think twice before you swipe a grape from the produce section while you shop for your dinner. Find out even more about what the world’s most dangerous foods are.
