Poultry #1 culprit in food poisoining
Poultry fingered as No. 1 food poisoning culprit
By MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer Mike Stobbe, Ap Medical Writer – 37 mins ago ATLANTA – Cooking chicken on the grill this summer? Be careful. Health officials say poultry continues to be the leading culprit in [COLOR=#366388! important][COLOR=#366388! important]food [COLOR=#366388! important]poisoning [/COLOR][COLOR=#366388! important]outbreaks[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]. Chicken, turkey and other poultry accounted for 17 percent of the foodborne illness outbreaks reported to the government. Beef and leafy vegetables were close behind, at 16 percent and 14 percent.

But experts say it represents only a fraction of U.S. foodborne illnesses.

Is it because they carry salmonella or because of their enviroment they're raised in? Our HD says not to bother rinsing poutry in your sink cause you're just spreading the problem..(unless they have obvious dirt on them)

Good question: I know environment has something to with it, but it may be both. I need to research that one for definitive truth.

All chickens can carry salmonella but their feces are where it is really prevalent - environments like that concentrate it. |
