Salmonella

[Valle]

So the other day i was in a rush when i was cooking my chicken breasts and 1 of them was larger probably needed an additional 1-2 minutes to fully cook. When i sliced it it wasnt pink in the middle but definitely needed the additional time cooking and one of my family members was overly concerned that id get food poisoning/salmonella. Ive eaten many times slightly undercooked chicken when i was in a rush and didn’t really feel/have any symptoms. While i know it should be fully cooked is it really that big of deal if someone ate slightly undercooked chicken ?

Thanks in advance.

I am not an expert in food borne illnesses at this level, so I don’t really have a confident answer for you. I believe undercooked and raw poultry is more risky for Campylobacter than salmonella per se’, but I would advise not consuming undercooked food in general. Sorry I don’t have better information for you.
