Washing raw chicken can be deadly for humans, writes 9news.com, citing representatives of the Food Safety Information Council (FSIC) of Australia. It is emphasized that washing meat spreads bacteria throughout the kitchen, and chicken is already washed during the cooking process. Each year, the country records about 4.7 million cases of food poisoning, leading to nearly 48,000 hospitalizations and 38 deaths. Always wash your hands and surfaces after contact with raw poultry, thaw meat in the refrigerator or microwave in a container, and protect other foods from contamination by raw juices.
