Millennials so squeamish about handling raw meat it is to be sold in touch-free packs


Supermarket is to introduce touch-free packaging to help squeamish millennials who are afraid to touch raw meat before cooking it.

Sainsburys said it was bringing in the straight-to-pan plastic pouches, which are known in the industry as after a survey showed the prospect of coming into contact with uncooked meat products induced high levels of anxiety among shoppers under the age of 35.

“Customers, particularly younger ones, are quite scared of touching raw meat,"; Katherine Hall, product development manager for meat, fish and poultry at the retailer, told The Sunday Times.

These bags allow people, especially those who are time-poor, to just ‘rip and tip’ the meat straight into the frying pan without touching it.”

The fear of contamination by bacteria such as campylobacter, which is found in some raw poultry and can cause severe food poisoning, was so great that one woman admitted in a focus group to coating her chicken with antibacterial spray before cooking it, Ms Hall recalled.

“A lot of younger people are eating out in restaurants but they are not preparing as much food in their home. If they are not used to it, they may think, ‘Ugh! I’d prefer someone else to do it for me.’”

So-called millennials - those born after 1980 - have been dubbed the "snowflake" generation for their political correctness and apparent inability to become reconciled to some of everyday life’s harsher truths, such as the fact that meat may have come from a dead animal.

I saw one such hero last week call the AA because he couldn't change the wheel on his car when he discovered a flat tyre.

So, therefore this article is wrong.

It was pre-cooked lamb though wasn't it? If not, thats really dirty mate.

As long as you didnt touch it when it was raw.

In certain areas of Wales (New Zealand, if you must) they're waiting with bated breath to find out if the lamb was still alive when he was massaging it with olive oil.

That they're buying into these manufactured o9utrage clickbait articles?

Millennials, simultaneously not touching raw meat while not cooking meat properly.

They do but I thought it was safe because it's super fresh. The only person I know who's eaten it said the chicken was wandering around outside an hour before it was on the plate.

Article states that it's a fear of contamination and food poisoning, then decides to try and take a swipe by suggesting the issue is it came from a dead animal...

Ridiculous anyway of course, and likely only a minority, but why not take the chance to have a swipe.
