Chicken
The Concern: This popular meat (we buy about 86 pounds per capita annually) is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness.
Small Thing to Keep in Mind: A good recommendation is to buy chicken last when you're grocery shopping, since keeping it cold can prevent bacteria overgrowth. Also, be sure to defrost frozen chicken safely and cook it to 165 degrees (use a meat thermometer).
