[quote=Anonymous]Raw meat, like chicken, or fish, and eggs, etc absolutely should be bagged separately. People often think that if it's in a plastic package that the bacteria is contained inside. Studies show that the outside of the package often is cross contaminated with ecoli and dangerous bacteria like Campylobacter which can cause a paralyzing condition called Guillain-Barré. I've even had packages delivered with meat hanging out. Food handling laws require that ready to eat foods are not stored near raw meats, so supermarkets technically should bag them separately, regardless of the customer's preference, for legal reasons.

As for the old adage about people's anscestors not dying of this, that's absolute rubbish. My cousin died from Guillan-Barre, and a friend developed a life-threatening complication from this kind of food poisoning and now has chronic renal disease.  Certain autoimmune diseases like RA have been recently linked to bad bacteria found on raw meat. The reason we live longer is that we take reasonable precautions.[/quote]
