He noted that the season of intestinal infections is associated with the use of products that easily spoil after 30 minutes if not stored properly..

“If a pathogenic organism enters any properly prepared food product, then that critical mass accumulates, which turns this dish into poison and this causes severe food poisoning,” Ruban said..
