Food safety is one of the issues that require close attention in the summertime. The summer weather in Korea is hot and humid, so there is a high likelihood of food or ingredients going bad. When extreme heat goes on for days, even greater care is needed. It's quite common for group food poisoning incidents to occur because of spoiled food at cafeterias or restaurants. Food poisoning can be dangerous for senior citizens or children especially. When you have symptoms of food poisoning, it's best to visit a doctor in a timely manner to get treatment. Above all, you should carefully check the expiration date for processed foods. Plus, it's important to keep food refrigerated. However, sometimes food can go bad even in fridge, so you can't trust it completely.

Are you okay? You look a little pale.

I had food poisoning. I was really sick.

Oh no! You should check what you eat.

I know. I'll be more careful from now on.
