Contaminated with campylobacter & salmonella

ENCNow

A report out from London-based non-profit The Bureau of Investigative Journalism cites U.S. government records which reportedly show that U.S. companies like Perdue, Pilgrim's Pride, Tyson, Foster Farms and Koch Foods, which are giants in the industry, all sold a huge amount of poultry products contaminated with campylobacter and salmonella, sampling records show.

Over half of the meat sampled showed that it was contaminated with antibiotic-resistant strains of the pathogens, according to government records. Major grocery stores and fast-food restaurants across the U.S. are supplied by these U.S poultry giants on a regular basis.

records reflect that 12 large poultry companies in the United States have exceeded those USDA standards for acceptable levels of the pathogens "multiple times" since 2018.
