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

The Risk of Uncovered Dessert

Uncovered desserts at a buffet may look like a sugar-coated dream, but they’re a nightmare in disguise. While tantalizing, these exposed confections stand guard against an invisible army—airborne bacteria and pathogens that see your sweet treat as a landing pad.

The air we breathe is a highway for these microscopic hitchhikers, from the sneeze of a fellow diner to the touch of a curious child. Each uncovered dessert has the potential to transform what should be a delightful end to a meal into a risky bite of the unknown. If we were you, we would actually just skip it altogether.
