Produce...

Just when you thought dairy and raw meat were more likely to get you sick, it turns out that produce may actually be the biggest culprit.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, produce is the culprit for about 50 percent of all foodborne illnesses. However, meat and poultry are only involved in about 22 percent of the cases, in comparison.

Recent research from the FDA has proven the risk unwashed produce can do for your health.

In one experiment, the Food and Drug Administration tested the bacteria existing in avocados and guacamole, later determining that E. coli and Salmonella were present in most of the samples. Furthermore, three out of the four subjects that tested positive for listeria came from domestic suppliers.
