Let’s face it, Americans love the Super Bowl. And it’s not just the game which draws a crowd, no, it’s often the food (and partly the commercials) that steals the show.
But as millions of hungry fans gather this weekend to watch the most televised program in the US, food safety can often take a back seat to the festivities. With more than 1.3 billon chicken wings and 4 million pizzas expected to be eaten during the big game, there are plenty of opportunities for a food safety penalty to occur, according to USDA.
