    What!?! 25% contaminated? Thank goodness again i’m not living in the US.

    Do they have any food that is not trying to kill you in that country?

    It’s literally in the water the chicken bodies float along in a lazy icy river, so it has to be cooked hot enough to kill the pathogens. Air chilled chicken reduces this, but the body juices with the salmonella can still get contaminated onto the meat, but doesn’t add the water weight. I get air chilled sometimes, seems good fully cooked.

      It’s worth noting that this was a rising problem during the Biden administration too, from the article:

      The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service inspects poultry plants monthly. The new report shows that five U.S. poultry plants exceeded maximum allowable salmonella contamination every month from 2020 to 2024. These included a Carthage, Mo., turkey plant owned by Butterball, a Dayton, Va., turkey plant owned by Cargill Meat Solutions, and a chicken plant located in Cunning, Ga., that is owned by Koch Foods. A Costco chicken producer, Lincoln Premium Poultry, exceeded the standard in 54 of 59 inspections.

          Though the issue is a bit more specific than just industrial farming in this case. Meat, dairy, etc. production is inherently really inefficient compared to eating plants because you have to do so much more farming for animal feed where most of the energy is lost

          we show that plant-based replacements for each of the major animal categories in the United States (beef, pork, dairy, poultry, and eggs) can produce twofold to 20-fold more nutritionally similar food per unit cropland. Replacing all animal-based items with plant-based replacement diets can add enough food to feed 350 million additional people, more than the expected benefits of eliminating all supply chain food loss.

            Good thing birth rates are declining and we’ll all be dead from climate change related disasters and shortages before we need to worry about supporting another 350 million people.

              For what it’s worth, moving towards a plant-based diet also helps with climate change too

              Transitioning to plant-based diets (PBDs) has the potential to reduce diet-related land use by 76%, diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by 49%, eutrophication by 49%, and green and blue water use by 21% and 14%, respectively, whilst garnering substantial health co-benefits

      I mean, we could have guessed. How else would it make sense? But there is also Heritage foundations ideal population of 100 million, the elite clearly hating the poor, and making sure the poor get nothing good in life from them. They are libertarian too.

    Jalapeños, lettuce, chicken, eggs, I know I’m missing a recent plant that started spreading something last month.

      Just cook your chicken. This is why the safe cooking temperature is drilled into food workers, especially with poultry.

        …RICE?!

        I knew about different levels of arsenic present in American-grown rice, especially brown rice, which is why I switched to Basmati and Jasmine rice. What else happened to rice?!

          Rinsing the rice helps reduce arsenic levels.

        The bleach was not recalled, only scented Mistolin Dilutable Cleaners and scented Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaner.

          Sorry, thanks for correcting me. I got too doomer and got lazy, but I should hold myself up to basic standards.

          Yeah, Clorox produces these products, but the bleach itself is fine, it’s just these two cleaners and only the ones sold in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

          Clorox is recalling about 6.3 million bottles of scented Mistolin Dilutable Cleaners and scented Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaners over concerns the products may be contaminated with dangerous bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall was announced Sept. 3 and covers products sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands at major retailers including Walmart, Sam’s Club and Costco.
