Social Report: The USDA is knowingly allowing chicken contaminated with salmonella to be sold across America

[Osculater]

I saw a video of a Japanese hibachi place (they have a name for it) and they eat chicken rare. They also hibachi the skin real crisp that looked amazing.

I remember eating medium rare chicken as a toddler

Chicken rare?

I feel ya, brother. Not for me, either. Same with pork. The point is that chickens in other countries are safer to eat rare because there are more controls on quality. The industrial farming in the U.S. is disgusting.

Professional chefs are trained to be diligent in keeping knives and cutting boards for chicken isolated from other food products.

Especially foods that won’t be cooked, like salads, that won’t get heated enough to kill off bacteria

I’ve given my daughter (culinary school) heart attacks when I forget to follow those procedures when I cook at home. I try to be more aware now about it. I don’t think most people understand the dangers

Brother, I worked in the industry for over a decade. Even in the nicest black tie places you see cross contamination every night. Not egregious shit, but it's going to happen when the kitchen gets in the weeds. You do the best you can, but more stringent rules involving the meat that those restaurants receive would be nice.

Edit-Congrats on your daughter going to culinary school!

A dude told me that customer wanted their steak more cooked so they brought it back to the kitchen, but it fell on the kitchen floor. So they threw it in the deep fryer to kill the germs and served it back to the costumer LOL

Not just rare. They actually do chicken sashimi in Kyushu. Supposedly there are really high standards for hygiene, so it's safe, but I'm not nearly brave enough to try it, lol

True… it needs to be cleaned up.

But having a way to provide cheap food is essential to middle and lower class families

Lower clases already have more issues with obesity due to most cheap food being packaged meals…

And chicken is the cheapest source of healthy protein on the market.

Chicken is still around $3/lb here while steak has almost doubled since 2020. I have trouble finding steak for less than $16/lb.

I live in the gulf coast… so I can get gulf shrimp for under $4/lb at a local fish market. Caught daily and not frozen. But that’s not normal.

Just cook your chicken all the way through and be careful when pressing chicken that you wash your hands and cutting boards after

Ive been cooking for a living for 20 years and always just treat chicken with more caution than anything else really.

I'm sure that's a true story, but I would not do that and I would call it out. I took pride in what I served no matter if I was on fry, grill, whatever. I tried to serve plates that I would want to eat myself. I really loved working lines, but the drugs and late nights did not agree with me.

That's a reasonable position to have. I rarely eat beef now. I get bogo grass fed ground sometimes and a store here puts the chuck roasts on sale for $5.99/lb. I can work magic with chuck roast.

It's pork here, far cheaper than chicken.

Chickens been gross for years now. Rubbery garbage.

She started in high school…

She still lives with me and she probably uses the skills from that class more than anything else she learn in Grade School

Black women were right all along. Yall better wash that chicken!


I am actually surprised the upper limit is only 25%. A guy who once worked in a chicken processing plant many years ago told me that they remove the feathers by dipping all the chickens into the same vat of hot water, and thus the chances of any individual chicken ending up contaminated with salmonella is very high, almost 100%.

I’ve found you can get pretty much any drug you could want in a restaurant kitchen or construction site.

I usually over cook my chicken purposefully anyways, and wash the fuck outta my hands when cooking.. there aren't many things grosser than eating undercooked/raw chicken.

I'd rather it be a bit dry than to be on the shitter for 3 days.

 

[Belaya Smert]

Literally every piece of chicken has salmonella present on some level. It’s why we cook meat to specific temperatures.
