Bacteria contamination and growth which can lead to food poisoning can be eliminated (or reduced)by cooking at the proper temperature for that food.
It is hard to say since cooking can remove 99.9 percent. The more bacteria present in the food, the higher the chance that after cooking it will have some bacteria.
The cooking process kills bacteria in the food if the food is cooked to an appropriate temperature. This is true particularly for meat, and there are published general guidelines.
There are many different kinds of bacteria in different foods, so if you do not cook food properly, then there is a chance you can get food poisoning or you can get sick.
While there is always a potential, in this case it seems very unlikely. Especially when cooked properly and thoroughly, food poisoning risk decreases as the bacteria and viruses are killed in the cooking process.
It depends on the type of bacterium as to what toxin is produced. Some toxins are destroyed by cooking the food and others are not. Clostridium botulinum produces a muscle paralysing toxin that can kill you but is also used medically to relax muscles of children with cerebral palsy (and injected into foreheads to smooth facial lines), Botox.Staphylococcus aureus, golden staph, produces a toxin that causes toxic shock syndrome. There is shiga toxin from E. coli from food poisoning, cholera toxin ...Some bacteria secrete toxins and others just have toxins in their cell walls that causes inflammation when the white blood cells destroy the bacteria.
I would say yes, but I'm not especially paranoid about food poisoning and would just cook it anyways. Thorough cooking of improperly thawed beef will kill off any bacteria, but it might not eliminate the toxins formed by the bacteria.
E.COLI and Salmonella causes food poison can be carried onward t the digestive system which in turn can and does kill humans
Pasteurisation kills many of the bacteria that would otherwise cause food to spoil, and could cause food poisoning in those who ate it.
Bacteria. Specifically: Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, and Clostridium botulinum. Also a group of bacteria called Salmonella. When food is contaminated with any of these organisms and allowed to grow at room temperature they produce toxins. The exception is botulism. It usually surfaces in improperly canned foods. It grows and produces toxins anerobically. Cleanliness in food handling, thorough cooking of meats, keeping foods either hot or cold so bacteria won't grow, and following approved recipes for home canning, will help prevent food poisoning.
The bacteria 'Salmonella' is what causes food poisoning in meats. Poultry and fish are well known for causing food poisoning if the Poultry and fish have not been handled well or left out too long once cooked.
Yes. We are told not to refreeze things because bacteria can get established during the thawing and will not be destroyed by refreezing. However, it will be destroyed by cooking. It is perfectly ok to refreeze anything which has been cooked after it was thawed.
