The festive season is a time for spending quality time with family and friends enjoying special Christmas foods such as turkey and ham.

Unfortunately at this time of year there are spikes in food poisoning. Salmonella typically doubles in the Christmas ? New Year period, compared with the winter months.? Feasts, eating outdoors and the warmth of summer can offer the ideal environment for bacteria to grow.

When large quantities of food are cooked and left out in the open for long periods, food poisoning bugs can spread and multiply. Fridges that are over filled with leftovers and kept above 5^oC also pose a risk.

So this summer when the temperature rises remember the golden rules and don?t let food poisoning ruin the celebration.
