Do not buy watermelons and melons already cut in this way: expert explains the risk

A nutritionist warns that pre-cut watermelons and melons pose risks of bacterial contamination, such as Escherichia coli, listeria, and salmonella, when not properly stored. After cutting, the fruit loses its natural shell protection and becomes exposed to microorganisms present on surfaces, utensils, and hands. The risk increases if the products are kept at room temperature, especially on hot days. The specialist recommends checking whether the fruit is refrigerated, avoiding purchases with damaged packaging or excess liquid, and whenever possible, preferring to buy the whole piece to control hygiene at home.
