A food scientist is warning people that if they have any of these foods, it's maybe best to start avoiding them, or cooking them properly. The expert, who has millions of likes on TikTok, has listed a number of issues including how bacteria thrives - which can result in us feeling ill.
The scientist, posting with the username @hydroxide, said: "I’m just warning you, you are going to hate me after this video.". In the expert's warning, she says she will never eat "any kind of burger that has cooked more on the raw, rare side. So I will usually order a burger well done." She explains that when preparing ground beef a large fork may pierce the meat to break it up, and if the spikes pierce and touch a bit that has bacteria on it, it spreads it around.
She warns: "If there’s a little piece of meat down there that has E.coli or salmonella, you are basically taking that and distributing it everywhere in that ground meat. I know I’m very sorry and it is specifically with ground beef because turkey and grilled chicken you have to cook it to 165F (73.9C) because it’s poultry.".
In her other warning, she says she'll avoid raw sprouts, or cress as it is known in the UK, adding: "I will occasionally eat them but they are a very, very, very high risk food. She explains the crunchy veggies are "grown in the ground in the warmest, most moist, humid, wet environment you can imagine. And guess what? Bacteria love it.".
