Chicken Survey Finds Two-Thirds Harbour Salmonella, Campylobacter

A consumer survey has found salmonella and/or campylobacter in about
two-thirds of chickens tested in the US.

Consumer Reports assessed 382 chickens from 100 stores in its regular survey of
chicken safety and found campylobacter in 62 per cent, salmonella in 14 per
cent, and both bacteria in 14 per cent.

A total of 34 per cent of birds were clean of both pathogens, which is double
the figure found in 2007, but Consumer Reports did not find this cause for
celebration.
