This is the food most likely to give you food poisoning – and no, it’s not meat

You have to be careful of what you eat,it may cause you to react.And that’s food poisoning.Recently, Consumer Reports(opens in new tab) came out with a definitive list of which foods are most likely to make you sick – and their rankings were based on the number of recorded illnesses, recalls, and deaths that were caused by that specific food over the last five years. Although some of the foods didn’t necessarily shock us, we were pretty surprised to hear which one ranked number one for most likely to get you sick.
Now, these findings aren’t meant to keep you from consuming these foods, but rather, just being more careful about consuming them, says Brian Ronholm, director of food policy at Consumer Reports. “After all, these foods are all usually safe, and many of them are in fact important parts of a healthy diet,” he said.

Ranked number two on the list is deli meats and cheeses, which wasn’t altogether unsurprising, seeing as there was recently a listeria outbreak caused by deli meats and cheese, according to the CDC(opens in new tab). In total, deli meats and cheese garnered over 409 illnesses, 122 recalls/ outbreaks, and 7 deaths over the last five years.
