Buffet Baddies: Dishes You Shouldn’t Touch with a Ten-Foot Fork!
Tuna Tangle: The Salad That Bites Back
Diving into a creamy tuna salad at a buffet might seem like a no-brainer for a quick protein fix, but here’s the catch: this popular dish can be a hidden harbor for food safety blunders. The main issue lies in the mayo-based dressing, which is a perfect playground for bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria when not kept at the right, chilly temperature.
Additionally, tuna itself is prone to spoilage and can host histamine-producing bacteria, which aren’t eliminated even with proper refrigeration. This combination can make tuna salad a risky buffet bet, especially if you can’t guarantee it’s been kept cool and fresh.
