3. Chicken Gizzard

The chicken gizzard helps in digestion by grinding food, but it also collects impurities and toxins from what the chicken consumes. If not cleaned properly, it may contain harmful substances.

Health Risks:

• May contain undigested toxic particles and bacteria.
• High cholesterol content can contribute to heart disease if consumed in excess.
• Risk of parasite contamination.

Safe Practice:

• Proper cleaning and thorough cooking are essential to minimize risks.
• Avoid consuming gizzards from unknown or unregulated sources.

4. Chicken Feet

Chicken feet are popular in many cuisines, especially in soups and broths. However, they can harbor high amounts of bacteria, hormones, and contaminants from the chicken’s environment.

Health Risks:

• High in collagen but may contain residues of antibiotics and hormones.
• May carry bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella.
• Absorbs environmental toxins that may pose health risks.

Safe Practice:

• Always clean chicken feet thoroughly by removing the outer skin.
• Cook at high temperatures to kill bacteria and potential parasites
