It’s hard to imagine a summer without baseball. The crack of the bat, the smell of sunscreen, and of course, the snacks are part of a tradition that goes back to many of our childhoods. If you’re planning on indulging (in moderation of course) on a few treats, you should be on the lookout for signs of spoiled or contaminated stadium food. Dr. Richard Besser shared a few things to watch out for to keep you and your family healthy and safe from the food safety issues that the heat of summer brings to local stadiums.
If you’re wondering how your local stadium measures up, there’s a great interactive map from ESPN (link). Our advice? Stay away from that salty stadium food altogether! If it’s not a ball game for you without a hot dog, try and be sensible about the portion: just have one!
