  1. É natural que a carne crua esteja contaminada com patogénicos, ainda vai ser cozinhada. Não percebo como se pode estragar tanta comida. educar as pessoas a evitar contaminações é o caminho, não é possível querer que todos os produtos crus estejam isentos de microrganismos. Nunca ganhámos a guerra contra as bactérias

    • Hi Maria

      Much of the issue is around customers not cooking or poor handling of the products, the was an issue in the UK in 2020 with over 400 illness cases from Salmonella in ready to cook chicken products.
