Dangerous turkey meat
Salami, Mett or Teewurst - which sausage do you like the most? The salami is one of the most popular sausages of the Germans, Mett and tea sausage also. What is equal to all three types of sausage: They are infected by dangerous germs.
Poultry makes you slim. The low-fat protein source is popular with figure-conscious women and men. What few people know: Eating chicken and turkey meat not only makes you slim, but above all dangerous. Every second fresh piece of chicken meat is contaminated by potentially pathogenic germs - this is the result of a recent study by the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety. The quality has not improved in recent years, the experts said. On the contrary: Almost 50 percent of animal farms use antibiotics .
Antibiotics in animal husbandry
Where animals are kept in confined spaces, antibiotics are used - to protect against possible diseases. "Some animals, however, develop their own bacteria, which are immune to antibiotics." Our gastric acid can not harm these bacteria, they survive human digestion and multiply in the intestine, permanently inhibit antibiotics and make medical treatment difficult, " writes Tagesspiegel.
In addition to various turkey products also salami, Mett and tea sausage are affected by the dangerous bacteria. A study of the Greens shows: 16 percent of tested raw sausage products are burdened by the antibiotic-resistant germs, among turkey products it was even 66 percent. The Greens want to stop the use of antibiotics . "The animal mast system is a ticking time bomb, " said Anton Hofreiter, chairman of the Greens parliamentary group in the Bundestag, the Tagesspiegel. "With the production methods for cheap meat, we endanger our own health." According to estimates, six million Germans currently carry dangerous germs. Every year around 30, 000 people die because they no longer respond to antibiotics.
Even large sausage factories know about the decay of many sausage products. "The sausage is the cigarette of the future", so Rügenwalder company boss Christian Rauffus opposite the mirror. The logical consequence: vegetarian ham-spitters and mills meatballs made from egg protein and soya.
Even if the veggie market is booming - if you want to treat yourself to a piece of meat now and then, you should be careful not to wash it before eating it, especially with turkey . There is a threat of food poisoning.
