For some reason, most of us know it when the chicken we bite into is raw. For those who don’t have such discriminating palates, however, federal food-safety officials are trying to figure out what kind of labeling would help keep citizens from eating raw chicken and contracting salmonella.
Apparently stuffed chicken entrees, which look cooked because they’re breaded and “prebrowned” so the breading sticks, have fooled enough people in Minnesota to cause a salmonella outbreak. Even though the chicken has a label that says “uncooked,” that still hasn’t stopped some individuals from diving right in.
