The report also found that salad was amongst the foods most likely to cause food poisoning with 9,182 reports according to the website iwaspoisoned.com.
The BBC reported that salad can fuel the growth of food poisoning bugs such as salmonella, making it an ideal breeding ground for different bacteria. Essential Living also found that burritos, pizza and pasta were among the dishes most likely to cause food poisoning.
