Spring Food Poisoning :: Food poisoning occurs most often starting in May! Remember these 5 prevention tips.

Hello, this is Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, nice to meet you.

When the weather gets warmer, food poisoning becomes an 'emergency'! Spring and summer mass food poisoning warning

The sunny season brings more outings and outdoor activities, and people also eat out more,

but it is also a time when the risk of food poisoning rises sharply.

In fact, there are statistics showing that food poisoning occurs most frequently from May to September, when the average temperature rises above 15 degrees Celsius. According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, about 60% of all food poisoning cases are concentrated during this period.

Food poisoning in spring and summer is very common! Every spring and summer, various food poisoning incidents occur repeatedly.

1. A 2020 mass food poisoning incident at a kimbap franchise in Seoul: more than several hundred people were infected due to a problem with ingredients used in the egg garnish

2. Summer 2023, a mass food poisoning incident at an elementary school cafeteria: caused by undercooked meat and side dishes left at room temperature

3. June 2022, a kindergarten in Gyeonggi Province: Salmonella infection occurred through salads

The number of cases is overwhelmingly higher in spring and summer.

As the weather gets warmer, bacterial food poisoning germs multiply rapidly, and even a small mistake such as secondary contamination or improper storage can lead to large-scale damage.

Food poisoning is a safety issue. Food poisoning is not just an upset stomach; in severe cases, it can lead to hospitalization or complications, making it a serious food safety issue. The warmer the season, the more important it is to stay alert to food poisoning and to follow even the smallest habits carefully, as this is the most reliable way to prevent it.
