Injury attorney Bill Marler has spent more than 20 years working on food poisoning lawsuits. After seeing the same foods show up in his cases time and time again, he decided a few of the repeated offenders could be cut from his diet.

1. Rare meat

Warmer waters, a result of global warming, means more microbials growths in oysters and other seafood. Marler said he has seen more foodborne illnesses linked to shellfish in the past five years than in the last two decades.

3. Raw sprouts

According to Business Insider, there have been more than 30 bacterial outbreaks, mostly salmonella and E. coli, from sprouts in the last 20 years.

"There have been too many outbreaks to not pay attention to the risk of sprout contamination," the expert said. "Those are products that I just don’t eat at all."

4. Precut or prewashed fruits and vegetables

6. Uncooked eggs
