Food poisoning due to lunch box ↑…Do not leave it at room temperature after buying in bulk

In general, the incidence of food poisoning increases significantly in summer due to the high temperature and humid environment.
Examples include salmonella food poisoning from animal foods such as spoiled eggs, chicken, beef, and milk, staphylococcal food poisoning when cooked food is left at room temperature for a long time, and enteritis Vibrio parahaemolyticus food poisoning when raw fish and shellfish are consumed.
In particular, lunch boxes are relatively vulnerable to food poisoning because they are highly affected by the environment caused by movement. Bacterial food poisoning bacteria are known to be most active in proliferation at temperatures of 32-43°C.
Therefore, if you purchase a large amount of lunch boxes for the purpose of eating during events and outside activities, food poisoning bacteria can proliferate quickly if left at room temperature, so it is desirable to consume them within two hours of purchase and immediately dispose of the remaining food.
Before eating the lunch box, make sure that the container or packaging is not contaminated or damaged, and keep it refrigerated (0-5℃) if it is difficult to eat immediately after purchase.
In addition, when purchasing and consuming lunch boxes in bulk, it is recommended to use products from HACCP-certified food manufacturing and processing businesses (lunch box manufacturers) and divide them into several restaurants rather than ordering in bulk at one restaurant.
