If you are living away from home either at a school, university or college then pay attention to this information. Of course if you are one of the parents some of this may actually come as a bit of a shock.
While there is no way a student can regularly afford to get the catering in that doesn’t mean that there excuses when it comes to not eating properly.
On It’s Way Out?
There are so many foods out there that it really doesnt matter if eat if they are a few days out, there are some that could cause you some real serious harm. If you are looking for a date and it is a use by one then you shouldnt touch it the next day after it has gone off as it could cause you harm, best before dates are different and shouldnt do you any harm. On the other hand you will experience some poor quality in the foods. These are very unlikely to make you ill.
Leftovers
Unless the takeaway has been in the firdge overnight it is never a good idea to go out and eat it for this reason alone.. This is because in the right condition bacterium could multiply to the thousands in the space of time you are asleep. The right temperature just happens to be room temperature so make sure you stick it in the fridge. Make sure that if you are going to be heating it up again that you make the meal piping hot.
Mouldy Food
If you are seeing a nice furry greeen patch on the bread, throw it in the bin, do not just cut that bit off.. This is because the mould will produce invisible toxins and they can make their way across to the rest of the food.
So perhaps you cant get on that outside catering there are really no excuses to get silly with eating food.
