Varies by country.
But my comment was more about government inspections and news about violations, not news about food poisoning outbreaks.
In the developing country I was in, plenty of food products are never tested, but once you've visited a factory it's clear it would be shutdown in any developed country.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoYeah I know a guy who’s daughter almost died after eating an ice cream cone bought at a roadside stall in Thailand. Had to go to hospital and get her stomach pumped and everything…
- OutOfHere 2y agoRoadside icecream in Asia is quite hazardous. I would in general eat only very hot cooked food (165F or 74C, inside and outside) while in Asia, thereby ensuring the germs are dead. Stick to boiled or sealed bottled water. Despite the food being hot, it can still sometimes contain bacterial toxins or mycotoxins. Avoid salads while outdoors almost anywhere. Also be careful with the choice of fish to avoid any potentially toxic fish, e.g. reef fish.
