at the end of the day poultry is crawling with bugs anyway selmonale and the like. they are killed off during cooking so why wouldnt flu be killed too??
I was sitting eating a bernard mathews turkey ham sandwich when it was on the news about them having to destroy all the birds because of bird flu, it put me right of my lunch!!!!!!!!! They are still selling the same turkey ham in tescos which isnt right because they cant be 100% sure the stuff is safe.
The recall is most likely a precautionary, but as ever with the media everything is hyped up to cause anxiety within the general public. If the food is cooked hot enough and for long enough then the bug would be killed off. Although I personally would not like to take that chance neither.
There was B Matthews Turkey Breast slices on promotion in Tesco yesterday when I was there, they must be struggling to sell. I don't think the supermarkets would risk there reputations if it wasn't safe to eat it.
I hope its ok as Im going round my dads 2nite for a meal, his missus us cooking turkey BREAST and I dont want to upset her! should I or shouldnt I ????
