Tags: dirtiest, food, dangerous, meat, health
Some say you are what you eat, but hopefully you aren't one of these! Men's Health magazine has identified the 10 dirtiest foods--from bad burgers and dangerous deli meats to hazardous health foods.
| 1. | Chicken – One study found more than 40 percent of chicken samples contained bacteria that can sicken, including E. coli. |
| 2. | Ground Beef -- It has the potential to be loaded with deadly E. coli bacteria and more. |
| 3. | Ground Turkey -- One in four packages of ground turkey tested contained bacteria. |
| 4. | Oysters -- Many are tainted not only with bacteria, but also the Norovirus. |
| 5. | Eggs -- Associated with 600,000 cases of food poisoning a year and 300 deaths. |
| 6. | Cantaloupe -- Bacteria is transferred into the fruit when cut with a knife. |
| 7. | Peaches - Dangerous because the peach fuzz makes it difficult to clean off the pesticides. |
| 8. | Pre-Packaged Tossed Salads -- Often contaminated with E. Coli. |
| 9. | Cold Cuts -- Can contain the dangerous bacteria Listeria, often spread by the deli slicer. |
| 10. | Scallions -- They've been linked to deadly outbreaks of Hepatitis-A. |
