[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Although the daytime weather feels like early summer, the temperature difference between morning and evening remains large, staying around 10 degrees Celsius. Many people believe food poisoning mainly occurs in summer, but in reality, cases such as Clostridium perfringens food poisoning occur most frequently in spring when attention to food storage and management tends to decline. According to food poisoning cases compiled by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety over the past five years (2016?2020), perfringens food poisoning occurred most often in spring with 24 cases (771 people), followed by autumn with 7 cases (501 people), winter with 9 cases (293 people), and summer with 7 cases (90 people). As outdoor activities increase with the arrival of clear spring weather and the lifting of social distancing, here are some food poisoning prevention help items to enjoy a healthy spring.
