Named and shamed: The supermarkets where up to 78% of fresh chickens are contaminated with potentially lethal food poisoning bacteria

Results show every major retailer failed to meet targets to reduce bug

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2851740/Warning-contaminated-chickens-70-fresh-supermarket-birds-tainted-campylobacter-food-poisoning-bug.html#ixzz3KK7uiOFM

Alarming! 7/10 ten fresh chickens are carrying campylobacter on the skin.

* Asda had the highest number of contaminated chickens at 78%
* Co-operative had 73%
* Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Waitrose had 69%
* M&S 67%
* Tesco 64%

* Others - Lidl, Aldi, Iceland, Independent Butchers - 76%

Perhaps a rubber chicken for Sunday lunch. Is it the same for all poultry?

M&S are getting on the bandwagon. They are selling (or about to sell) chickens in bags so you don't have to touch the beast just bung in in the oven.
Bagged chicken has been around for a while but I bet M&S will make a killing with this idea, riding on the backs of people's fears.

Of course, we have an Official Taster here. A fair bit of it disappears during the carving.

That's why I prefer fish, filleted and ready to cook of course.

Yes it does if it's cooked well, but it's handling the raw chicken that's the problem.

Whatever chickens have been wrapped in since time immemorial would have the same issue - how have we all survive!

Common sense hygiene with hands, worktops etc, don't wash it, cook it properly at a reasonable temperature. Campylobacter is killed with proper cooking, in the same way as salmonella and ecoli is. Careless or bad hygiene is the problem.
