Cannibal sandwiches and the health risks

from Outbreak News

What is a cannibal sandwich? A cannibal sandwich is by definition, raw ground beef typically served on rye bread or crackers with onions. Occasionally, a raw egg will be mixed with the meat. It is a traditional winter holiday specialty in certain regions of the upper Midwest. These are also called "tiger meat" sandwiches. In this 2013 interview, I speak with CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer, Abbey Canon, DVM, MPH, LT, about an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak in Wisconsin that year and the health risks with consuming raw ground beef.
