Go veggie to avoid food poisoning
It seems irresponsible to me that Public Health England should be advising people to freeze chicken to avoid campylobacter food poisoning, when it should be advising people to avoid eating it altogether.
We know more than half of shop-bought fresh chicken tests positive for campylobacter, which causes hundreds of thousands of food poisoning cases and kills around 100 people every year in the UK.
Given that campylobacter is spread through faeces, Public Health England might as well be advising people to make gravy using sewage, provided they boil it thoroughly first.
