Hello and welcome to the programme. Every 

year about a million people suffer from food 

poisoning in the UK, which would suggest that 

we need to be a bit more careful about what we 

eat. Our food expert, Dr Marilyn Shepherd, is 

here with us today to give us a few tips on food 

safety. Marilyn, what seems to be the biggest 

cause of food poisoning?

Well, Rob, it appears to be chicken. There’s 

bacteria in raw chicken that causes more than a

quarter of all the cases of food poisoning in the 

country, so you need to be really careful with it. 

Raw chicken should always be kept in the 

fridge, and you should make sure that it’s 

covered and doesn’t come into contact with any

of the other food in there. After handling raw 

chicken, you should always wash your hands, 

knives and chopping boards with soap and 

hot water.
