Speaking of their findings, the authors noted: “Using control self-responses, consumption of hot dogs, sausage, pepperoni, kielbasa, ‘other’ canned meat, poultry liver, any stomach/intestine, beef stomach/intestine, any organ tissue, and beef organ tissue was individually associated with increased Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease risk.”
