These Foods Are Most Likely To Poison You [LIST]

BottomLineHealth.com created a list of the six foods that are most likely to give you food poisoning. They came up with this list after speaking with Bill Marler.

You may not not his name, but he's actually a pretty big deal in the world of food. He's the most prominent food-safety lawyer in the US. He has represented victims in nearly every food-borne illness outbreak in the US in the last 20 years.

Here are the foods you should stay away from, unless you'd like a quick trip to the ER.

1. Unpasteurized (“raw”) milk and packaged juices.

“There’s no benefit big enough to take away the risk of drinking products that can be made safe by pasteurization,”

2. Raw sprouts.

“There have been too many outbreaks to not pay attention to the risk of sprout contamination,” Marler says. “Those are products that I just don’t eat at all.”

3. Meat that isn’t well-done.

“If it’s not cooked thoroughly to 160°F throughout, it can cause poisoning by E. coli and salmonella and other bacterial illnesses.”

4. Prewashed or precut fruits and vegetables.

“I avoid these like the plague,” Marler says, “Convenience is great but sometimes I think it isn’t worth the risk.”

5. Raw or undercooked eggs.

“I think the risk of egg contamination is much lower today than it was 20 years ago for salmonella, but I still eat my eggs well-cooked,”

6. Raw oysters and other raw shellfish.

“If there’s bacteria in the water it’ll get into their system, and if you eat it you could have trouble. I’ve seen a lot more of that over the last five years than I saw in the last 20 years. It’s simply not worth the risk.”
