US food safety lawyer and food poisoning expert Bill Marler has spent 20 years investigating and litigating food-borne illnesses and managed to win $600-million for his clients. He runs an informational website, Food Poison Journal, and this week published a list of food he would never eat.Prewashed or precut fruits and vegetables. Marler says he avoids these "like the plague". He says the more food is handled and processed the more risk of it being tainted. His advice is to buy small amounts of unwashed, unprocessed produce to be consumed within four days to reduce the risk of listeria, a bug that thrives in fridges.Raw sprouts. "Those are products that I just don't eat at all." Included in the line-up are alfalfa, mung bean, clover and radish sprouts, which can cause bacterial outbreaks through contamination of their seeds.Unpasteurised milk. He says "raw milk" can be contaminated with bacteria, viruses and parasites.Packaged juices. One of Marler's earliest cases was an E coli outbreak caused by unpasteurised apple juice. "There is no benefit big enough to take away the risk of drinking products that can be made safe by pasteurisation," he says.Rare meat. In fact, he wants his burgers well done. He says that minced meat is more problematic because "any bacteria on the surface of the meat can be ground inside of it". Meat not consistently cooked to 70 degrees can cause E coli and/or salmonella poisoning.Raw or undercooked eggs. The last US salmonella outbreak from eggs happened in 2010, and caused more than 2000 reported cases of illness.Raw oysters and raw shellfish. He says the fact that the oceans are warming leads to microbial growth and, therefore, illnesses. "Oysters are filter feeders. If there's bacteria in the water it'll get into their system, and if you eat it you could have trouble."..
