Buffet Baddies: Dishes You Shouldn’t Touch with a Ten-Foot Fork!

Cantaloupes Bring The Drama

Spotting sliced cantaloupe at a buffet isn’t hard—its bright orange appeal is like a beacon of freshness among the sea of dishes. But hold that plate! This melon may carry sneaky stowaways like Listeria or Salmonella. While not typically eaten, the rind is where these bacteria love to lounge, and they can easily hitch a ride to the edible parts during slicing.

It’s a classic case of looks that can be deceiving, transforming what seems like a healthy pick into a potential tummy troubler. So, next time that juicy cantaloupe tempts you, remember that it might just be a Trojan horse hiding unwelcome microscopic guests.
