Consumer Reports Finds Contamination in Most Chickens

November 30, 2009

Consumer Reports just published a comprehensive study addressing bacterial contamination of chicken. After purchasing 382 carcasses from more than 100 US retailers, lab tests revealed that only 34 percent tested negative for both salmonella and campylobacter.

More troubling still, most samples of these two types of bacteria turned out to be antibiotic resistant. (Via Starkman.) Link.
