Poultry
Undercooked or raw poultry like turkey, duck, and chicken, of course, can force you to visit your doctor. Consuming contaminated poultry could lead to food poisoning mainly due to some bacteria, Salmonella and Campylobacter.
These two types of bacteria are usually found in the feathers and the guts of chickens, turkeys, ducks, and other birds, so to minimize the risk, you have to make sure you’re cooking them properly. A study found that as much as 80 percent of the raw chicken sold in our supermarkets could be contaminated with Campylobacter bacteria and 5 percent with Salmonella.
When it came to turkey meat, the rates of Campylobacter contamination were lower (30 percent).
