There is a possibility of salmonella infection. In recent years, raising poultry are raised in confined conditions and about 12-15 percent carry salmonella. Proper food handling will prevent the spread of salmonella. In addition to cleaning surfaces, utensils and hands should be thoroughly washed before touching anything else.
