Hope you got the food "effect" you wanted to achieve ozchick.
A total of 331 food samples consisting of 219 raw and 112 ready-to-eat cooked foods were examined for the presence of Salmonella. Thirty-two percent of the raw foods and 17% of the ready-to-eat cooked foods examined contained the pathogen. Among the raw foods, high proportions of chicken pieces (39%), liver (35%) and gizzard (44%) were contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella serotypes were also isolated from dried oysters (86%), prawns (25%), oriental shrimp paste (belacan) containing more than 15% NaCl (11%), beef (8%), leafy vegetables (4%) and bean sprouts (20%). Fourteen percent of the ready-to-eat foods (cooked chicken, beef and prawns) obtained from street vendors were positive. The extent of Salmonella detected in uncooked (66%) and ready-to-eat satay (23%) is of significance.
