Does undercooked chicken cause food poisoning?
<|assistant|>
Undercooked chicken can contribute to the spread of foodborne illness. If chicken is cooked improperly, bacteria can enter the human food chain. Eating foods that contain harmful bacteria can cause food poisoning. The most important thing to remember is to properly handle, cook, and store chicken to avoid possible illness. To ensure safety, the USDA recommends that chicken be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
