We’ve all heard it before: if you drop food on the floor, you have 5 seconds to pick it up and eat it. The idea behind this is that it takes 5 seconds for the bacteria to make its way to the food and invade, but a new study suggests that this old wives’ tale is mostly untrue.
Although there have been no known illnesses from Meijer’s fresh salads and sandwiches, they are none-the-less embarking on a recall of their food due to potentially being infected with Salmonella. The sandwiches and salads that are affected were sold between July 20, 2016 and July 25, 2016.
This precautionary measure was put into place after Prime Foods, LLC, who supplies Meijer with eggs for their fresh products, announced that some of their eggs have tested positive for salmonella.
