The expert spoke about the dangers of eating hot corn on the beach

The main danger of hot corn, which is sold on the beach, is the violation of sanitary standards during its preparation and storage. Dmitry Bystrov, Associate Professor of the Department of Food Industry, Hospitality and Service at ROSBIOTECH University, warned about this on Friday, July 11.

According to the expert, sellers can pick corn near highways, which is why the fruits can be very dirty and contain heavy metals. In addition, corn can lie open, attracting flies and other bacteria-carrying insects.

"If boiled corn stays warm for a long time, especially under the sun, pathogenic microorganisms multiply rapidly in it — salmonella, E. coli, staphylococcus," he said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

In addition, Bystrov added that a lot of salt and oil are added to vats with corn, which is harmful for hypertensive patients and people with kidney diseases.

"Corn contains a lot of fiber, which is useful in moderation, but overeating can cause bloating, heaviness, flatulence. People with gastritis, ulcers or pancreatitis should avoid such foods," the nutrition expert emphasized.
