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

The Perilous Path of Poultry Salad

Chicken salad, a buffet staple, is a safe bet with its lean protein and veggie mix. Yet, this popular dish is often a playground for bacteria such as Salmonella and Listeria, especially when not stored at the correct temperature. The mayo-based dressing, a perfect medium for bacteria growth, adds another risky layer, turning a nutritious choice into a potential hazard.

These bacteria are notorious party crashers in improperly handled or stored poultry dishes, making chicken salad a risky pick in the buffet line. Opting for grilled or baked chicken pieces might be smarter, offering a safer path to protein without the microbial mingle.
