Travel experts have warned anyone who goes on a comprehensive holiday this year. With the sunshine of the month back, most of us reminded us how wonderful the summer sun is. Many of us are lucky enough to be plump for our overseas holidays, reaching for our travel websites and getting a break.
One popular choice for the holiday is inclusive. These are more expensive in advance, but you'll regain your savings later – especially if you tend to eat and drink a lot. This is because, as the name suggests, all inclusive people give free food and drinks to the free food and drinks included in the price of your stay.
However, travel experts global work and travel are warning people who go on comprehensive holiday due to the risk of food poisoning.
They stated: “As thousands of Britons prepare to collide this summer on a comprehensive holiday, our travel experts are warning Sunseekers to be aware of the lesser-known risks of food poisoning, especially E. coli, which often unaware of the buffet tables.”
Senior travel consultant Jesse Chambers urged travelers to be aware of the “slim lasagna” at the buffet table.
She said:
“Now, most comprehensive resorts use filtered or bottled water to make ice. Freezing temperatures make E. coli difficult to survive.
“Buffets are convenient, but cross-contamination is often overlooked, and there is an increased risk if the same tools are used throughout the dish, or if the trays are not kept at a safe temperature.
While undercooked meat has a reputation for causing food poisoning, Chambers highlights five unexpected foods that often denounce stomach bugs overseas.
Precut Fruits and Salads – They may look healthy, but when washed with contaminated water, they can spread E. coli and pasta. Starchy foods remaining at room temperature are ideal for bacterial growth.
Cold meat and tender cheese – if not cooled properly, they are a common cause of illness.
Hot tray sauce and gravy – if you don't keep the piping hot, they become a breeding ground for bacteria. Creamy desserts like custard tarts and tiramisu look safe, but the heat quickly ruins them.
