I don't have the slightest problem roasting a turkey that comes out
tasty and moist. All I do to the bird is wash it, put salt, pepper and
paprika on the skin, and pop it into the oven.

The United States Department of Agriculture advises against the
practice of rinsing poultry or meat before cooking it. It runs the
risk of spreading bacteria on your sink, countertop and utensils where
it can be further spread.

Cooking at the correct temperatures kills any harmful bacteria.

My mother rinsed poultry before cooking it, her mother rinsed poultry
before cooking it and I rinse poultry before cooking it. Period.

We're away of the possibility of spreading bacteria. That's why we scrub
down everything that came near the poultry while we prepared it for cooking.

Yeah, we were all taught to wash 'em. But it turns out it's not
really necessary and can actually be more risky.

I got food poisoning last year from a pre-cooked chicken dish that I
apparently didn't reheat hot enough. Worse 8 hours of my life, I
thought at the time. Thought I was going to upchuck all my internals
and then die.

There now. Go enjoy your chicken or turkey. :-)

Food truck, Little Havana section of Miami. I love the new food truck
movement, but this one certainly did something wrong. Fish tacos. I
never knew a human could puke so much *stuff* out, and like you, when it
was all gone, I thought I was going to puke my stomach right out of my
body!

It doesn't look like poultry ever came near that sink next to your
coffeemaker.

I put the birds in the sink and rinse them with hot water.. So far, no problem.

Maybe some of us just want to wash the **** off the bird instead of
simply cooking it long enough to make it "safe".

This makes me wonder how they "wash" their birds, with a pressure
cleaner?
You are going to expose your kitchen surfaces to the bacteria as soon
as you take the bird out of the bag from the store. The answer is to
clean the surfaces.

BTW do you use those reusable bags? How often do you wash them and how
do you wash them?
To the contrary of what you hear, your dryer is probably not going to
get the contents hot enough to kill all of the bacteria, particularly
on the "energy saver" setting.

I've been in a chicken processing plant. It's really, truly nasty.

I had never been in an animal to food processing plant until I worked at
that newspaper in KC and went out to write news and feature stories
about the large factories. What a smell, and the sights were disgusting,
too.

Here in the Peoples Republic of Montgomery County we have a bag tax. If you want a bag to
carry your purchases out of the store it will cost you 5 cents a bag. After this was
implemented there was a rash of cases of food poisoning. This was due to people buying re-
usable bags to cart their groceries home from the store. The problem is that people through
away bags where the contents leaked and since they paid a few dollars for their reusable bags
the just foled thme up and put them back in their cars which resulting in massive bacteria
colonies affecting the next batch of groceries.

The law of unintended consequences strikes again.

One of the two major chains implemented that policy a couple years ago. When the other didn't follow, the first relented.
One store from that chain did keep the policy, along with at least one boutique type grocer chain.
Most people up here use the big re-usable bags that all the grocery stores sell for $1.00.
