Cooked properly it's fine, it's bad cooking and handling practices that cause sickness. I can remember back in the 60s chicken was known as a dirty bird and had to be cooked thoroughly nothing much changes.

Probably just clean sugarbug, if bacteria is spread many of us don't get ill because we keep our kitchens clean and cook our food properly.

Here is their reply to me when I queried their corporate responsibility, labelling and farming standards:
Azz I think some do try hard and I get some lovely fresh unpackaged fish from Waitrose and have had their packaged wild Alaskan salmon which is ok .
I won't eat farmed salmon at all.

If I lived in Wales I would seek out Sewin (Wild sea trout) which is almost indistinguishable from wild salmon and 1000 times better than farmed salmon . It is of course out of season now till next spring

Funnily enough we have salmon swim through the river that is at the end of our garden

I just need to learn how to catch it (we often see people standing in the river catching it)

Re: Can you taste the difference?

I always wash the inside of a chicken, we were taught to do so in school as hygiene was always important and I'll continue to do so no matter what anyone says
