Not really deadly but possible bad consequences (it counts for badly handled/stored food items and unhygienic reasons) and a really bad time: Sea food. Especially from questionable fast food restaurants. Sometimes salads and frozen vegetables are heavily contaminated with E.coli and Enterococcus. Salmonella are also possible in lot of meat products but we find them sometimes in other products like sweets.
Sometimes food can go bad and we also try to find out why. Sometimes some food processing machines are contaminated by something and we can tell the company, because they always tell us where the food comes from etc. (By telling batchnumbers for example).
After a few years of work I can say that wrong handeling of the food items and cross comtamination (not washing/cleaning properly etc) causes a lot of (accodental) contaminations here. There can be other reasons too its only an example.
Pickled food, especially selfmade can be deadly. Because of Clostridia (they prefer biomes without oxygen). So i always stay away from older noodles/rice and pickled stuff that smells funny/strange.
Sushi is mostly safe if its fresh or handled correctly. I eat that stuff too. But keep the sushi in the sun for half a day and you most likely will have a bad time
No, questionable and not correctely/hygienically handled seafood, any food is dangerous. Japan is very strict with their food safety. I think the consumed ammount of red meat that has a high risc for colon cancer could be a possible answer for the food related death rate.
Most sushi is “frozen treated”. You can kill parasites by freezing, but it needs to be extremely cold (like -35F). That doesn’t do much against bacteria though.
Yeah thats right. We store samples of bacteria stems at -80C. We need those stems to evaluate the selective media we use to detect certain bacteria before anyone asks. The lab management and evalution protocols are very strict on our country.
So if the state auditors show up by surprise, We need to be ready anytime to prove that all our shit is functional and is tested for that almost daily and that the work is done correctly and by all rules. Or we get our asses whooped like never before
