Think winter keeps your food safe? Think again. ❄️🦠

This World Food Safety Day, we're busting 5 cold-weather food myths that could be putting you and your family at risk. The truth is, food poisoning bacteria can grow quickly between 5°C and 60°C and that danger zone doesn't take a winter break.

A few simple habits can make all the difference:
✅ Keep your fridge below 5°C
✅ Refrigerate leftovers promptly - don't leave them out overnight
✅ Defrost food in the fridge, not on the bench
✅ Check use-by dates - not just the sniff test
