What does BM mean in FOOD & NUTRITION

Bad Meat is a term used to describe meat that is not safe for consumption. It can be the result of improper storage, handling, and/or preparation, or contamination with disease-causing organisms like bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Meat can become bad if it is not handled or stored properly. For example, if the temperature of the refrigerator in which it was stored drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 degrees Celsius), bacteria can rapidly grow in the meat and cause spoilage. Additionally, if raw meats are not cooked thoroughly enough or cross-contaminated with other items in the kitchen they may develop dangerous bacteria such as salmonella or e-coli.

There are several precautions you should take when preparing meat to ensure it does not become bad. These include storing raw meats separately from other foods; washing your hands thoroughly before and after handling raw meats; cooking all meats to a minimum internal temperature established by government guidelines; using clean utensils each time you handle raw meats; avoiding cross-contamination of uncooked and cooked food; refrigerating leftovers promptly after meals; and never tasting raw or partially-cooked food.

Some physical signs that indicate bad meat include discoloring (such as greenish patches on red meats); sliminess on surfaces; an offensive odor; and/or an off taste. If you notice any of these signs while preparing your meal, discard the food immediately in a sealed container so that pets or wildlife cannot access it.

Yes - consuming spoiled or contaminated meats can lead to symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea due to bacterial poisoning from salmonella or e-coli. In some cases this may require medical attention in order to properly treat the illness caused by eating bad meat.
