Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Article in todays Scotsman regarding raw chickens from supermarkets from the Foods Standard Agency. A staggering 73% of all chickens sold have campylobacter. Having caught this nasty bug in West Africa I can tell you its highly dangerous. I was in a terrible state with sickness , when I got back to the UK the doctor put me on 6 different tablets to be taken every day for a month to kill this bug from my gut. The doctor told me if not treated cancer would start growing in my gut. So be warned. Make sure you cook chicken thoroughly. After handling raw chicken wash your hands and use a disinfectant gel which is good to have in your kitchen. Thoroughly wash your working surface where the raw chicken has been then use a detox type bacteria killer. Have always told my wife never eat chicken sandwiches as you never know how the chicken has been handled and cooked. Every time she has had dioregha and I go throw what she has ate there is usually a chicken sandwich been had. Now she knows and keeps back from them Make fun of this all you like but trust me you never want to catch campylobacter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 biggest cause of food poisoning in the UK, affecting 280,000 people a year in Scotland More than a million food poisoning cases are diagnosed in England and Wales each year, although the number of deaths has fallen to around 500. As I wrote make fun all you want I work in the trade and know how dangerous food poisoning can be. Only fools take it lightly until their partner or child falls seriously ill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Chicken is my favourite food! Me too one of my favourite foods still needs to be handled with care. Too many household folk don't realize how dangerous it can be unless its handled with care. I see professional catering people handling raw chicken the good ones stick by the rules but many don't , my job is to try and educate the bad ones.

stlucifer Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 There are too many foods to mention which, wrongly taken or cooked could damage we poor weak humans. Pork or game birds, if undercooked can transmit trichina worm. There are many fruits which contain harmful substances. While it would take a fair amount of apple or cherry pits to be fatal it takes far less of things like rhubarb leaves to make you extremely ill. If we go around worrying about everything we were about to eat we'd all starve. I for one will not be standing over the stove while a cook or chef is preparing my food. Be that chicken or cherry pie.

Yes you can worry too much. However if you think 1 in every 5 chickens purchased contains a deadly poisoning through out the UK is acceptable I do not agree and as such the word should be spread on how to keep your family safe. Supermarket mass produced chicken mostly to the same slaughter house. For me the area that is wrong is when the chicken is killed its is put into a type of bath to be cleaned. Every chicken so if one is carrying bacteria that bacteria is spread to other chickens going though the same process. Even customers who purchase Organic Chicken don't realize they go through the same bath as all other chickens. Its like a sheep dip. Anyway I'm just trying to make fellow buddies aware of a food that is eaten often in many households. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of using anti bacterial wipes, soaps and sprays my kitchen is also regularly steam cleaned.

pozbaird Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Undercooked prawns are a basturt' too. Mind too - story this week says caffeine is bad. Saturated fat? Vicious. Sugar is the new nicotine, and we gotta' cut out salt. Go easy on those carbohydrates too. Alcohol? Don't get me started on alcohol. E-numbers could drive your kids wild. Food? - just say NO!

Take the wee black vain out of the prawn and you will never have a problem. Sorry I started the thread as I should have known the piss would be taken. Part of my job is food safety many would be surprised just how badly it can effect you in extreme cases it can kill you. Totally avoidable with common sense and care. Maybe if it was one in five cars breaks the failed people would take more notice. The fact that its food and we eat so much of it that its taken for granted and we forget it can make you seriously ill or kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
