GP and TV doctor Sarah Jarvis has issued a warning to anybody planning to have a BBQ this weekend. Millions of Brits will be coming together to celebrate the Jubilee over the weekend, and for many, that means throwing some burgers and sausages on the barbeque.
But many people are unaware that guests could end up with food poisoning, due to poor hygiene and dirty equipment. According to a study by Karcher, 38 per cent of Brits admit the grill on their BBQ is dirty, with almost a fifth (19 per cent) describing it as absolutely filthy - yet one in ten (11 per cent) have no plans to clean it before they use it next.
