Spring Weather = Food Poisoning Season in NYC

Panko Alerts · April 22, 2026

April's warm days and cool nights create perfect conditions for bacteria to multiply in food that sits out too long. If you're eating at outdoor dining spots or food trucks, make sure your food is served hot and hasn't been sitting under heat lamps for ages. Trust your nose and eyes – if something smells off or looks like it's been sitting around, ask for a fresh portion or go somewhere else.
