Frozen foods to be cooked, not just reheated, per a study.
February 11/New York/IANS -- According to a new study, if you think frozen meals are ready to eat and just need to be reheated in microwaves, get alarmed. Rather, let the meal stand for the recommended time in the microwave before you start eating, shows new research.
An investigation into a case where 44 people got food poisoning after eating frozen chicken-and-rice meals in 18 states in the U.S. revealed that the outbreak of Salmonella bacteria -- that caused food poisoning -- was owing to "improperly" microwaving food.
