CDC warns chicken cooked in air fryers, microwaves can cause food poisoning

Urban modern lifestyle is all about saving time. And hence, microwaves and air fryers have occupied majorly all kitchens. 

However, a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suggests that people are repeatedly getting food poisoning and are falling sick after consuming frozen chicken cooked in these appliances.  

Packaged food items containing chicken require a conventional oven heating of at least 165 degrees fahrenheit to be considered safe for eating.

But according to the CDC survey, 30 per cent of people in the US use air fryers and other appliances which do not have the wattage to kill the bacteria and properly cook the chicken which leads to several health ailments.
