less risk if I just eat chicken than if I eat both chicken and salad.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

less risk if I just eat chicken than if I eat both chicken and salad.

...but less risk if you eat salads and not chicken.

willing to take that risk

[ChaimMoskowitz]

willing to take that risk

As long as you know the risk. Don't want to see anyone get sick.

are you comparing raw salad with cooked chicken or raw chicken?

Unless I am mistaken chicken is raw before it is cooked.

yes. And then most sane people cook it thereby negating most of the risk....in my house though, we don't cook our lettuce to kill bacteria

I understand that but the main risk is preparing and clean up properly.

so you follow safe handling practices and your fine. Safe handling practices won't help for lettuce. Hence the difference in wording in the CDC alert

I guess you need it spelled out....
Most common method of poultry consumption is cooked.
Most common method of lettuce consumption is raw.
Ecoli dies after thorough cooking.
Therefore it is far more likely someone from the general populace will become I'll from ecoli after consuming contaminated lettuce vs contaminated poultry.

I really appreciate you spelling it out for me. So raw meat, poultry and seafood are all less risk than lettuce.

items that are consumed raw that have been found to be contaminated are high risk. So , if ecoli is found in a batch of fish, then it would not be wise to consume the fish raw. Same with flour, beef, and produce which are all often consumed raw. This assumes there is a known outbreak. Otherwise while there is a risk, it's a minimal risk.

Poultry is number one for poisoning (includes salmonella). I don't believe anyone is eating raw poultry. My point was you have a higher risk from chicken than lettuce. Let me see if I can find some figures as I am guessing.

1. Poultry
2. Leefy greens
3. Seafood
But the contamination in poultry is due to improper handling and therefore the recourse is proper handling as opposed to leefy greens which when used properly pose a health risk. Unless regular salad is considered improper handling. I guess we can ask Gordon Ramsay.....

Thanks. Was worth coming to this thread for the video. King

The bottom line is poultry is a higher risk. That was my point. If you feel you will handle it properly then for you it will be a lower risk.
