Rising temperatures increase risk of food poisoning, nutrition expert warns

Nutrition consultant Dr. Soha Abdel Jawad said that rising temperatures are the main factor behind the growth of bacteria responsible for food poisoning.

Speaking in an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, she explained that the so-called 'danger zone' for food safety ranges between 5 and 60 degrees Celsius, where some types of bacteria can double in number every 20 to 30 minutes.

Abdel Jawad noted that this significantly increases the risk of food spoilage, even if there are no obvious signs.
