1/ 5 Sprouts

Sprouts are one of the most difficult foods to clean thoroughly. In addition, they are grown in a moist and warm substrate, which provides ideal conditions for the development of pathogenic microorganisms. Experts agree that the sprouts are best simply scalded with boiling water before consumption. photo: Shutterstock

2/5 Permit to carry

It may seem surprising, but melons, especially rough-skinned cantaloupe, are a common cause of food poisoning. This is due to the fact that practically no one washes them before serving. Of course, the melon is not eaten with the skin on, but the pieces on the plate often rub against each other, which causes the bacteria to spread to the whole fruit. photo: Shutterstock

3/ 5 Raw milk

4/ 5 Tuna

All fish should be stored at low temperatures immediately after being caught. Otherwise, their meat produces large amounts of histamine. Histamine poisoning, known by its medical name as scombrotoxism, is extremely dangerous. Be careful especially with dark-meat fish such as mackerel, tuna and hake. Never buy these raw fish unless you are sure they have been properly stored. photo: Shutterstock
