Mumps is an infection caused by a virus. It mainly affects the salivary glands but sometimes other parts of the body are affected. Mumps normally affects children, but can occur at any age. Mumps is now rare in the UK as children are routinely immunised against mumps.
Used as a preservative for most of history, honey is also one of the foods that donât need to be refrigerated. In fact, storing it in an environment thatâs too cool increased the chances of glucose crystallizing inside the honey.
Perishable foods are items that aren't safe to eat unless they're kept refrigerated at 40Â°F or below, or frozen at 0Â°F or below. Bacteria growth happens quickly in foods like meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy when they're not stored properly. Cooked leftovers are also considered perishable foods. The way I like to think about whether or not something is perishable or non-perishable is how that food lives at the grocery store.
