The 9 riskiest foods to eat right now
As a fitness trainer, when I think of “risky foods,” chips, crackers, cookies, and pastries come to mind. However, some foods, typically regarded as healthy, are contaminated with bacteria, including E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria.
Raw foods, such as dairy and certain meats, carry a higher risk of contamination, along with certain vegetables and fruits. Regional and nationwide recalls of these foods have become increasingly common.
These bacterial infections can make life miserable, with symptoms like fever, nausea, and vomiting. But if you’re a senior, immunocompromised, or pregnant, they can be deadly.

The nine foods listed are usually on the "best foods" list for their vitamins, minerals, and protein. It seems like every week or so, a list comes out about the latest food "don'ts." One other thing, organic-grown food doesn't make it safe from contamination. Seems like buying non-contaminated food is a roll of the dice. Although it's disturbing, I appreciate you posting this article. I'll be taking a crystal ball with me on my next shopping day.
