Disclaimer: I haven’t eaten raw chicken. Not looking for Reddit quips telling me to go to an emergency room.
Was just wondering if salmonella is pretty much guaranteed when eating raw chicken or if it’s something like 50/50 and an easy preventative measure like throwing out expired/damaged cans of food or washing fruits and vegetables before you eat them. I feel like I’ve seen a lot of people in TV shows and movies eating raw eggs.
In many parts of the developed world, chickens are vaccinated against salmonella.
The U.S. is not one of those parts.
Edit: sorry, I shouldn’t make an assumption that OP is asking about the U.S. So, depending on where you are, there could be varying levels of risk.
Do you mean to say that we aren’t on the cutting edge of vaccinations and healthcare? I’m SHOCKED, I tell you, SHOCKED.
I had backyard chickens in NJ and by our request the state (maybe it was the county) came and tested each one for salmonella. I don’t remember them getting vaccinated though
