just about all chicken sold in U.S. stores contains harmful bacteria

This is great news for me, since it means that I'm completely immune to this bacteria.

[sickoflibs]

How about if we cook the chicken before we eat it?

[DManA]

Radiate it. I’d pay a little more for a radiated bird.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Good thing most people cook it before they eat it.

All raw meat contains some level of bacteria. All bacteria are effectively killed by proper preparation and cooking.

CR is part of the environmentalist/consumer lobby that would welcome government regulation of everything. There's no problem here.

This is just the ‘setup crisis’ to get the public to support chicken processed in China. The general public is THAT stupid.

"Pharmaceutical companies are not making new antibiotics."

And, whose holding them back from making new antibiotics? Big govt and overburdening regulations.

Are there people who didn’t already know this?
Are there people who eat raw chicken?

[GeronL]

I like my chicken cooked, this kills most of it.

But now we will have chicken from China with “USA” on the label to worry about

[Liberty Valance]

I've got one slow roasting in the oven right now.

[driftdiver]

I guess thats why we cook it?

no?

When I was a kid, Mother made the best fried chicken. There were 5 kids and everyone had their piece. Mine was the drumstick and gizzard.

One day I was eating with Mother and Daddy and it just occurred to me that the chicken wasn’t as good as when we were kids and even many years after that.

I mentioned it to Mother and she said she knew it wasn’t as good but she had no idea why.

I just realized it might be the chickens aren’t as good quality.

Yeah, that’s why we’re all dead. Oh, wait...

[KosmicKitty]

About to roast one myself. with carrots, taters, and parsnips along side

[McGruff]

[Organic Panic]

OH NO!!! We’re all gonna die.

Are these bacteria super enough to take the heat of a deep fryer???

[goodwithagun]

Don’t get my chicken from the grocery store. Problem solved.

[gdani]

Cooking the chicken is all well & good, but you have to be very careful to wash/clean everything the chicken comes into contact with, too.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Gee whiz. Darn good thing I don't eat raw chicken, hmm?

And in general, I don't treat my raw poultry with antibiotics. So the superbugs will have to find a way to survive high temperature.

Now it's even more important that proper, sanitary methods be used when handling raw chicken..

especially a cutting board used ONLY for chicken.and one that doesn't nick...bacteria can remain in the cracks..and one that can go in the dishwasher. Important also to wipe down all oountertops..and wash sinks...and, oh yeah..WASH HANDS!!
