Seven dirty foods we often eat in life

　onion

　　Dirt: Studies have found that green onions contain the parasites Cryptosporidium, Shigella and Salmonella.

　　Ways to avoid supermarkets: Buy frozen onions, as the indoor environment can easily breed bacteria.

　　How to avoid it at home: Turn the faucet to the maximum to clean the dirt, and peel the skin of the green onions while cleaning.

　　Dirt: A study of 484 broiler chickens found that 42% were infected with Campylobacter and 12% were infected with Salmonella. The latest survey found that each person in the United States eats 70 pounds (35 kilograms) of chicken every year, which is more than beef, pork and native chicken. Supermarket avoidance: Choose free-range chickens. These chickens have a larger habitat and the number of chickens slaughtered at one time is smaller, so they are safer.

　　How to avoid it at home: In order to avoid food poisoning, after buying raw meat, clean it first blister instead of placing it directly in the baking dish. This shortcut prevents infections from chicken and other foods. When cutting meat, remember to clean your knife and chopping board.

　　Ground beef

　　Dirt: A study of the meat in hamburgers found it contained 53% Clostridium perfringens and 30% Grape cocci, 12% Listeria.

　　How to avoid supermarkets: When in the supermarket, choose ground beef that has been irradiated. Generally, the packaging will have a irradiated mark printed on it.

　　How to avoid it at home: Adding fresh oregano oil to beef can prevent the growth of E. coli.

　　Ground chicken

　　Dirt: This is potentially the dirtiest form of poultry. Research has found that a quarter of ground chicken meat contains Listeria, Campylobacter, Clostridium, or a combination of the three.

　　Supermarket avoidance: Choose organic free-range chicken. When checking out, use a special meat belt to place the native chicken.

　　Household avoidance: Changing your mindset about poultry. Imagine that the poultry is contaminated, sterilize and wash the dish where the raw chicken was placed, wipe it with paper towels, not a sponge.

　　Dirt: Oysters contain norovirus (a pathogen found in the ocean), Campylobacter and Vibrio, which can cause diarrhea。

　　Supermarket avoidance: Buy oysters that have been treated by famous chefs.

　　How to avoid it at home: Very simple, just eat cooked oysters. If you must eat oysters, read the purchasing advice carefully.

　　egg

　　Dirt: Although pasteurization has reduced the amount of salmonella in eggs to very low levels, there are still bacteria in the eggs. Choose well-cooked eggs rather than undercooked omelettes.

　　Supermarket avoidance: Keep an eye out for egg cardboard boxes and just look for the words sterilized and an expiration date. Check each egg for cracks, as bacteria can easily get in through cracks.

　　How to avoid it at home: Place eggs in their carton in the coolest part of the refrigerator. After beating the eggs, remember to wash your hands.

　　Dirt: Studies have found that 3.5% of cantaloupes contain Salmonella and Shigella (which can be transmitted from person to person). Because cantaloupe is generally eaten raw, the bacteria can enter your intestines directly.

　　Supermarket avoidance: Buy whole cantaloupe, as cut melons can easily allow bacteria to enter.

　　Ways to avoid household use: Before eating melons, wash them with cleaning solution under tap water for 15 to 30 seconds. Make sure the brush you buy is only used to clean vegetables and fruits, otherwise it will cause cross-infection.

　　peach

　　Dirt: In order to keep the surface of the peaches smooth and clean, farmers sprinkle pesticides on the peaches weeks before they are harvested. According to reports, by the time the peaches reach consumers, their surface is covered with nine layers of pesticides.

　　Supermarket avoidance: Use organic-labeled bags for peaches and other fruits.

　　How to avoid household use: Many products will have a layer of wax on them to maintain the effect of pesticides, so just wash off this layer of wax with a sponge or brush.

　　Pre-wrapped lettuce

　　Dirt: Studies have found that 11% of food poisoning cases are caused by pre-wrapped lettuce.

　　How to avoid supermarkets: Lettuce wrapped in plastic wrap is not pathogen-free. You can choose vegetables in bulk.

　　How to avoid it at home: Wash each lettuce leaf under running water before eating.

　　cold cuts

　　Dirt: Studies have found that cold cuts can easily cause Listeria bacteria, which thrives in cold environments.

　　Supermarket avoidance: Avoid cold cuts from the deli.

　　How to avoid it at home: Spread mustard on your sandwich as it kills 90% of listeria, E. coli and salmonella within 2 hours.
