Doesn't this risk exist with all types of food factory?
Sadly even vegetables aren't safe.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/20/us/onions-salmonella-outb...
I fear improper cleaning and food preparation.
Is anything safe to eat anymore?
Based on the article it seems the infection likely occurred while he was handling the raw meat. Wear gloves and wash your hands and surfaces well and take precautions to avoid cross-contaminating ingredients that won’t be cooked to safe temperatures. Standard kitchen and food safety stuff.If you’re not preparing it yourself, then it could be reasonable to avoid it if you’re aren’t confident in the preparation.
What about cooking? e.g. handling raw meat and such?
I can't believe some people eat those without washing it themselves. Might as well be a petri dish if there's a time when the refrigeration isn't on during transit.
If the food is not rotting, why would it not be safe to eat ?
I submit that cooked food is far more likely to injure you...
Can't anyone with a fridge full of bad meat manufacture botulism?
