How bad do you have to fuck up to get people sick from bread?!

Raw flour actually has a lot of the e coli issues

Okay, but bread is supposed to be baked!

I mean, with meat and dairy and fruits and vegetables there are always situations where it might be legitimate to have them be eaten raw or only partially cooked, but that’s not a thing for bread!

Ergot poisoning (aka, St Anthony’s fire) has been a recurrent issue since people started eating rye and similar grains. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a similar issue with other grains.

That said, they didn’t say what type of breads were affected, nor did they say whether the poisoning was natural, carelessness, or intentional :(

I tried to look it up, but they dont know yet.

But this sentence caught my eye

“Salmonella has been identified as the culprit in other recent Vietnamese bread-related food poisoning incidents (e.g., in Vung Tau and Nghe An province), this has not been confirmed as the cause in this specific Quang Tri outbreak.”

I wasn’t expecting to read that!

Bread is commonly used in a salad-sandwich-kinda dish called bahn mi. I reckon any of the other uncooked ingredients?
