Why are some foods such as chicken and cooked rice called potentially hazardous foods?

Chicken is a healthy and versatile meat. If it is not cooked enough it is potentially dangerous and can cause harmful effects to your health. Any bacteria in fresh chicken will be killed by thoroughly cooking the chicken. However, there are other types that will remain even after cooking. So make sure that you thoroughly cooked your chicken meals before eating. As for rice, it's considered potentially hazardous because it contains moisture and is a low acid food.
