At high temperatures, the choice of food is anything but irrelevant.
Buying the wrong product when it is hot can cause health risks.
Dortmund - If it gets very hot in summer, you should not only take the well-known protective measures against overheating, such as the multiplication table for hot days, into account.
Dangers of heat also slumber in supermarkets.

Aldi, Lidl and Edeka: Never buy certain foods when it is hot
It will be very hot in NRW from Monday (July 18), which can pose a potential health risk when shopping in the supermarket.
But which foods should you definitely not buy when it gets so hot?
It stands to reason that one should take a look at transport when shopping in summer.
It can quickly get very hot, especially in the car.
Within a few minutes, products heat up to such an extent that they may become inedible.
But maintaining the cold chain is not only essential for ice cream, reports RUHR24.
Aldi, Lidl, Edeka: Shopping in the heat increases the risk of salmonella
Animal products from the supermarket or discounters in particular pose a health risk at higher temperatures.
Salmonella, for example, can spread if the food in question gets too hot.
So it is very difficult in summer to transport this raw, animal-based food home safely and compliantly.
According to
BW24
, these include meat, poultry, egg dishes, dairy products and fish.
If the optimum temperatures are not maintained during transport when it is hot, the cold chain is interrupted.
This then leads to bacterial growth or the spread of salmonella, for example when grilling afterwards.
To counteract this as much as possible, you can use cool boxes.
But caution is also required here, because many cooler bags do not cool properly.
Shopping in the heat: stay away from these foods and drinks
And there are other products that you should stay away from in summer when it's hot: the body has to expend a lot of energy with some foods so that they can be digested.

If the liquid is then adjusted to body temperature so that it can get into the blood, you often start to sweat.
This is not the case with warmer drinks.

Aldi, Lidl, Edeka: Be sure to leave popular drinks on the shelves when the temperature is high
On sunny summer days, alcoholic drinks in particular often lure people to the bars and cafés in the area.
In addition, the summer alcohol-related offers at Aldi, Lidl, Edeka and Co. attract customers.
But that is exactly what is worrying.
Alcohol deprives the body of important minerals and water.
If you want to be on the safe side, wine, sparkling wine, beer and co. should not be touched when shopping.
