Yes, raw chicken can harbor Salmonella bacteria. Salmonella is commonly found in the intestines of poultry, including chickens. Contamination of chicken meat can occur during processing, handling, or storage, leading to the presence of Salmonella on the surface or even within the meat itself. It’s important to handle raw chicken properly and cook it to the appropriate temperature to kill any harmful bacteria and reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
