Beef steaks are single cuts of muscle, so effectively any\u00a0bacteria that the meat is exposed to is limited to the outside of the fillet, which is destroyed during the cooking process.<\/p>\n<div

CDC estimates that Salmonella causes more foodborne illnesses than any other bacteria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">They explain: &#8220;If you eat undercooked chicken, you can get a foodborne illness, also called food poisoning. You can also get sick if you eat other foods or beverages that are contaminated by raw chicken or its juices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;CDC estimates that every year in the United States about 1 million people get sick from eating contaminated poultry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;Chicken is a major source of these illnesses. In fact, about 1 in every 25 packages of chicken at the grocery store are contaminated with Salmonella.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div class=\"resizable-image_wrapper__LRQlr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU resizable-image_lowRes__5OkaL resizable-image_fadeOut___ZcLy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 33vw, (max-width: 768px) 50vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, 33vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=256&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 256w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=384&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=640&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=750&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=828&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1080&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1200&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1920&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=2048&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt49e6fd9c292e6c52\/68bda4dffba917d436354131\/GettyImages-1615411744.jpg 3840w\" alt=\"Undercooked chicken is a major source of food poisoning (Getty Stock Photo)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Undercooked chicken is a major source of food poisoning (Getty Stock Photo)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The CDC recommend storing your chicken on the bottom shelf of the fridge and washing your hands for at least 20 seconds after handling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Signs and symptoms of salmonella infection include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list_list__njBdr\">\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Stomach cramps<\/li>\n<li>Fever<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Chills<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Blood in the stool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Symptoms generally last a few days to a week but it can take longer before normal stool habits resume.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">If the illness lasts more than a few days, is associated with high fever or bloody stools or appears to be causing dehydration, it&#8217;s important to seek medical advice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Featured Image Credit: Getty Stock Image<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people choose to eat beef rare or medium rare Experts have explained why we&#8217;re able to eat rare steak but not undercooked chicken.
