People are putting themselves at serious risk by eating raw chicken sashimi

Most people know that raw chicken carries serious health risks, which is why we all wash our hands and any utensils after touching it. So the internet is aghast at the discovery that chicken sashimi exists.

It’s popular in Japan, where raw chicken – often referred to as chicken tartare or chicken sashimi – is found on many menus.

“In the UK, the NHS suggests campylobacter bacteria are the most common cause of food poisoning. This bacteria along with salmonella and e.coli are usually found on raw or undercooked meat, especially chicken. Another concern is cross-contamination which can happen if you prepare raw chicken on a chopping board and don’t wash the board before preparing food that won’t be cooked such as salad.”
