"researchers specifically looked at three things:

Does the recipe tell readers to cook the dish to a specific internal temperature?

If it does include a temperature, is that temperature one that has been shown to be “safe”? For example, cooking chicken to 165°F (73°C).

Does the recipe perpetuate food-safety myths – such as saying to cook poultry until the juices “run clear” – that have “been proven unreliable as ways of determining if the dish has reached a safe temperature?”

The researchers found that only 123 recipes – 8% of those reviewed – mentioned cooking the dish to a specific temperature. And not all of the temperatures listed were high enough to reduce the risk of food-borne illness.

“In other words, very few recipes provided relevant food-safety information, and 34 of those 123 recipes gave readers information that wasn’t safe,” "

"​Food Safety New Zealand says listeriosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease with a high death rate.
Listeria symptoms can be flu-like, including high temperature, aches, chills, vomiting and diarrhoea.
"Healthy adults are likely to experience only mild infection, causing flu-like symptoms or gastroenteritis.
"However, Listeria infection can occasionally lead to severe blood poisoning (septicaemia) or meningitis."
