1.Leafy Greens:
Though leafy vegetables are nutritious they are prone to contamination during the monsoon.The damp weather or conditions prompts the growth of bacteria, fungi and parasites on leaves. And sometimes not even washing can help to remove all the bacteria, which ultimately can lead to stomach infections or food poisoning as well.

3. Seafood:
4. Cut Fruits Sold Outside:
5. Fried Snacks (Pakoras, Samosas, etc.):
6. Dairy Products:
