Raw chicken dishes to be regulated by Japanese government

The article discusses the risks associated with consuming raw chicken, highlighting health concerns such as food poisoning and Guillain-Barré syndrome caused by Campylobacter bacteria. It explains that while raw seafood like tuna is commonly consumed in Japan with fewer risks, raw chicken poses greater dangers due to the presence of harmful bacteria. The piece notes that although some regions like Kagoshima have developed safety standards for raw chicken, many restaurants nationwide serve tataki-style chicken without adequate precautions, leading to increasing incidents of illness. In response, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is developing regulations to address these issues, including guidelines for separating raw and cooked chicken, surface sterilization techniques, and proper storage practices.
