"But chicken soup is boiled, and it usually remains boiling for a long time. Bacteria shouldn't be able to survive in chicken soup at 100 degrees Celsius."
Yu Xin voiced her opinion.
Salmonella lives and reproduces within the chicken's body without causing much harm to the chicken itself.
However, once it enters the human body, it can pose a fatal threat to humans.
Normally, maintaining a high temperature of over 60 degrees for 15 minutes is enough to kill them.
"Under normal circumstances, boiled chicken soup should not contain live Salmonella, but there are exceptions. If Salmonella hides deep within the chicken meat, and the chef cuts the meat in large pieces which cannot be thoroughly cooked. Moreover, small restaurants are usually busiest around four or five in the afternoon. At that time, many dishes need to be cooked and processed before the dinner rush."
