LEFT OVER ONIONS IS POISONOUS
I have used an onion which has been left in the
fridge, and sometimes I don't use a whole one at one
time, so save the other half for later.
Now with this info, I have changed my mind....will buy
smaller onions in the future.
I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food
Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Mullins is huge, and
is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family.
My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.
Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to
share what I learned from a chemist.
The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of
the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in
developing most of the sauce formula. He's even
developed sauce formula for McDonald's.
Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the
tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about
mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will
spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all
commercially- made Mayo is completely safe..
"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm
in refrigerating it, but it's not really> necessary."
He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is
set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that
environment. He then talked about the quaint essential
picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table
and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets
sick.
Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first
thing the officials look for is when the 'victim'
last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the
potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long
as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors.
It's probably the onions, and if not the onions,
it's the POTATOES.
He explained, onions are a huge magnet for
bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never
plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion. He says it's
not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in
your refrigerator.
It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open
and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and
doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at
the baseball park!)
Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like
crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that
leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking
for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a
potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any
commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.
So, how's that for news? Take it for what you will. I
(the author) am going to be very careful about my onions
from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility
coming from a chemist and a company that produces
millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.'
Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot
metabolize onions .Please remember it is dangerous to cut
onions and try to use it to cook the next day ,it becomes
highly poisonous for even a single night and creates Toxic
bacteria which may cause Adverse Stomach infections because
of excess Bile secretions and even Food poisoning.
Please pass it on to all you love and care.
