Foodborne illnesses and your Thanksgiving dinner. What to know.

Nov 26, 2024 | kuow.org | Andy Hurst |Clare McGrane |Patricia Murphy |Dyer Oxley

As a food safety attorney who handles cases of E. coli, salmonella, and campylobacter outbreaks, Bill Marler thinks about food, a lot, especially around foodie holidays like Thanksgiving. "Do not, under any circumstance, wash your turkey," Marler told KUOW's Seattle Now. "Don’t do that. You really have to treat poultry like it’s contaminated, because it likely is." That's also the advice from the USDA, which notes that it's nearly impossible to wash bacteria off of a turkey.
