CONTAMINATION IN CHICKEN
Feb. 25 /98
N.Y. Times/AP
More coverage of the Consumers Union study of almost 1,000 chickens,
purchased in 36 cities over a five-week period last fall, which found that
71 per cent of the chickens were contaminated with either of two
harmful bacteria: 63 percent with campylobacter and 16 percent with
salmonella. Eight percent of the chickens had both. Only 29 percent were
free of contamination.
The stories notes that public health officials estimated that
campylobacter was responsible for 1.1 million to 7 million food-borne
illnesses each year and between 110 and 1,000 deaths. Salmonella, they
said, was responsible for 700,000 to 4 million illnesses and the deaths of
as many as 2,000.
