Is food dropped on the floor SAFE TO EAT if you pick it up within 5 seconds?
As a kid, the “5-second rule” probably sounded like a good idea, but 5 seconds is long enough for food to be contaminated with bacteria. When you drop a piece of food on the floor, any microorganism present on the floor will adhere to it. To prevent food borne illnesses, use the 0-second rule instead, once you’ve dropped food on the floor, throw it away.
