WYD? The CDC has told Americans to stop washing their raw chickens

In what may very well be one of the grossest things we’ve seen in a while. According to a report released by the CDC, officials have warned Americans against showering off their raw chicken before cooking it.

As one would expect — the response has widely been mocked online. It is common knowledge that it is quite easier to clean the germs by running water over chicklen — and then cleaning the area around regardless.

Officials claim that doing such “can exponentially cause germs of all sorts to arrive and travel through the kitchen”.
