You may want to take a peek as your host is preparing the food, because it can tell you a lot.
From macaroni salad to sliced pineapple to grilled burgers, many different types of popular barbecue foods can grow bacteria that causes foodborne illness if they’re left out in the heat for two hours or more, said, the senior director of food technology communications at the International Food Information Council.
“I would never eat these items or others that are temperature dependent on avoiding bacterial growth,” Sims said. If something hasn’t been stored properly for two hours or more, it’s best to throw it away, she said. And if it’s really hot out — 90 degrees or above — food that hasn’t been stored properly should be thrown awayNot sure how long that potato salad has been sitting out? If you find out it's been more than two hours, avoid it.
One important tip is to never reuse a plate or tray before washing it — especially if it was used to hold raw meat. The USDA also suggests using different cutting boards for raw meat and vegetables. Food safety experts recommend washing your hands and wiping down your surfaces often, especially if you’ve used that surface to prepare food. Germs that are present on raw or undercooked meat can grow on fruits and vegetables and other foods that are cut or washed on the same surface as the meat, according to the New York State Department of Health. It’s way better to be safe than sorry , right?
