Buffet Baddies: Dishes You Shouldn’t Touch with a Ten-Foot Fork!
Sprouts Are Filled With Doubt
Sprouts, those tiny tendrils of health and vigor, carry a secret not so sprightly. Their cultivation—in warm, moist conditions—is a paradise for bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella. And here’s the rub: washing them thoroughly enough to remove these uninvited guests is a Herculean task that most buffets aren’t up to.
Why not lean towards safer bets instead of gambling on these miniature greens? Fully cooked greens or even a crisp, fresh salad where leaves can be easily washed and inspected make for smarter picks. These alternatives offer nutritional benefits without the bacterial gamble, making your buffet plate safe and satisfying.
