Salmonella
Salmonella food poisoning is usually associated with eggs and poultry. Please see our article “A good egg?” where we discuss the risks in more detail.
Salmonella can also be present in both human and animal intestines, so good personal hygiene can help to prevent salmonella poisoning. Wash your hands after using the toilet and after touching raw meat.
Always thoroughly thaw frozen poultry before cooking.
Don’t keep poultry in the temperature danger zone.
