10 riskiest foods

Ice cream? I don't understand that one. All of the others make sense. But with ice cream, is it the dairy content, in which case why wouldn't milk precede it on the list?

I don't get you, Center for Science in the Public Interest Del Mar. Though I know that group does like to get attention by revealing counterintuitive warnings against presumed healthy foods like Chinese food and popcorn.

I don't recall that I've ever read the label on store-bought ice cream, but when I was a kid and we used to make home-made ice cream, most of the recipes called for eggs. Could it be the danger from Salmonella in eggs in ice cream?

I don't know. I'm just thinkin' out loud, here.

Edit to Add:

Or maybe it has something to do with ice cream that doesn't remain frozen completely solid before it's consumed? I'm sure I've heard or read somewhere that there is some concern about ice cream that thaws a bit--without completely melting--and then refreezes.
