I now seeing stuff from the fda. saying not
To wash raw meats and chicken before cooking
My main reason for washing is to get the blood off the raw food.the way I wash is to soak it.
Now if some buy from like from a kosher butcher's shop .There be no need to wash
Because the kosher butcher's shop all ready did
And there will be no blood on all the meats.

The fda.in Usa.say not to wash any more
It says rinsing water on meats can spread more disease.

Proper butchery practice - not just halal or kosher - makes sure that there is no blood left in the meat. If there were, meat would go off very quickly and that is why, when an animal is killed, the first thing to do is to hang it so that all the blood is drained out.
There are pink juices in red meat (and very pale pink juices in white meat such as chicken and turkey). These are NOT blood but the natural juices of the meat - mostly protein. It is NOT necessary (and not a good idea) to wash meat because washing can actually introduce unwanted bacteria and will also remove some of the goodness and flavour of the meat.

In most of the supermarket I work
Most of the raw meats do have blood in.
The butcher shop different story.
If you can find one.

I used to but not anymore.
I also read that about washing the fda says no.
I really want to wash it though.
And if I want to I will no matter...because I wash them all the years with no problems.

@eagletrek2 Yes I agree with you..I have worked in meat plants and know how bacteria can spread with blood and so on.

I actually do that when I am going to cook the meat but from the supermarket and I know I'd be keeping it, I don't wash the meat because I am not going to use it yet and that applies to fishes as well.
