Scientist speaks out in favor of the '5-second rule' for dropped food

Food that has been dropped on the floor is usually safe to eat under the "five-second rule," a scientist has said.

Safely eating items that fall to the ground within five seconds has often been dismissed as an urban myth.

But germ expert Anthony Hilton, a professor from Aston University, said that while retrieving these morsels could never be done risk-free there was little to be concerned about if the food is there only momentarily.

Hilton will be demonstrating how the five-second rule works at The Big Bang Fair, a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths for young people that opens Wednesday at the NEC in Birmingham.

He said: "Eating food that has spent a few moments on the floor can never be entirely risk-free.

"Obviously, food covered in visible dirt shouldn't be eaten, but as long as it's not obviously contaminated, the science shows that food is unlikely to have picked up harmful bacteria from a few seconds spent on an indoor floor.

"That is not to say that germs can't transfer from the floor to the food.

"Our research has shown that the nature of the floor surface, the type of food dropped on the floor and the length of time it spends on the floor can all have an impact on the number that can transfer."

It comes as a survey of 2,000 people found 79% admitted to eating food that had fallen on the floor.

Paul Jackson, the CEO of EngineeringUK, the organisers of The Big Bang Fair, said: "This is a simple example of how science is present in everyday life.

"From testing how safe food is to inventing new food and drink, the limits of how we can apply science and engineering are endless."
