Eating late night snacks is one of the important consumption scenarios in the catering industry. How to eat late night snacks more healthily? What should business owners and consumers pay attention to? Firstly, establish a solid bottom line for food safety. The two most representative types of late night snacks are cold dishes and barbecue, both of which are high incidence varieties of foodborne diseases. High temperature and high humidity make it easy for microorganisms to multiply, especially for cooked meat and soy products, which pose a higher risk. It is best to eat and cook cold dishes freshly, or store them in refrigerated facilities, and be careful to avoid cross contamination. If the surface of braised meat, dried tofu, shredded bean curd, etc. is sticky, it is recommended not to eat them. Barbecue is mostly prone to problems with meat and seafood, especially shellfish such as oysters and clams. They belong to filter feeding animals and are prone to accumulating pathogenic microorganisms in water, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, norovirus, etc., leading to acute gastroenteritis. Consumers should not be tempted by fresh and tender taste, they must grill thoroughly before consumption. In recent years, the characteristic of "raw pickling" in southern coastal areas has rapidly become popular, but there are significant risks associated with consuming raw aquatic products. Curing materials, including Baijiu, cannot ensure the killing of pathogenic microorganisms. In particular, fresh water cannot be used as "raw salting", which may lead to the risk of parasite infection. Secondly, nighttime dining consumption should also take into account nutrition and health. It is best to arrange late night snacks in a planned manner. For example, if you plan to have a late night snack at night, you can consider eating a light meal for lunch and dinner. When eating supper, one should also exercise moderate self-control and avoid overeating. Finally, when choosing a late night snack, do your homework in advance and it's best to first visit the store to check the overall environmental hygiene conditions. While enjoying delicious food, don't forget to eliminate food waste. If multiple people are traveling together, you can buy only one serving of each food to share. This not only allows you to taste a variety of flavors, but also avoids waste caused by unfamiliarity with taste. (New Society)
