Comment on What are the odds of getting salmonella when eating raw poultry products?
CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 9 hours agoThis is the same reason that you need to cook ground beef to a much higher temperature than you need to cook a steak, more surface area, more points of possible contamination.
I didn’t know this.
If I raised my own chickens and treated them well would it be an issue to eat them raw? It kind of sounds a bit like a mad cow disease situation where it’s more a byproduct of the industrialized nature of the industry

In your scenario, you would know the health of your chicken, so you could make your own risk calculation.
You would still have to be incredibly careful, and be very clean, when processing the chicken, and when preparing the meal.
I think as with all other raw foods, such as sashimi, it’s something to try only if your immune system is working really well.

The FDA actually requires that raw fish be frozen prior to consumption to kill parasites. Food Code 3-402.11-12.
