Salmonella can be contracted from chicken primarily through consumption of raw or undercooked chicken meat or eggs contaminated with the bacteria. When chickens are raised in crowded or unsanitary conditions, they can carry Salmonella in their intestines. If chicken meat or eggs are not cooked thoroughly to kill the bacteria, consuming them can lead to salmonellosis, which is the illness caused by Salmonella infection. It’s important to handle raw chicken carefully, cook it to the recommended temperature, and practice good food safety measures to prevent Salmonella contamination and illness.
