What can you get from raw meat?

1. Salmonella

2. E. Coli

3. Campylobacter

4. Listeria

The correct answer is: E. Coli

Raw meat can potentially contain harmful bacteria such as E. Coli. This bacterium is commonly found in the intestines of animals and can be transmitted to humans through consumption of contaminated meat. E. Coli can cause food poisoning with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It is important to handle and cook raw meat properly to kill any harmful bacteria present, including E. Coli. Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Listeria are also bacteria commonly associated with contaminated food, but in this case, E. Coli is specifically known to be found in raw meat and is a significant concern for food safety.
