The 5 Second Rule & Other Dangerous Myths We Debunk
Grandma's kitchen advice might be giving you food poisoning. It's time for a science-based reality check.
We've all heard them. "It smells fine." "Just cut the mold off." At RupIELTS Institute, our instructors hear these myths in almost every Food Safe Level 1 class. While some are harmless, others are downright dangerous. Let's set the record straight using accepted food science.
The belief: If you drop food on the floor and pick it up within 5 seconds, germs don't have time to jump onto it.
The belief: If meat is getting old, just freeze it to kill the germs.
The belief: If milk or leftovers don't smell bad, they are safe to eat.
The belief: I eat my steak medium-rare, so my burger is fine too.
