The FSA are urging the public to take up the Chicken Challenge as part of Food Safety Week which starts on the 18th May. The Chicken Challenge aims to help people cut their chances of getting campylobacter food poisoning. They want you to promise to store raw chicken separately from other food, not wash raw chicken, wash everything that's touched raw chicken and cook chicken properly. The FSA aims to halve the levels of food poisoning from campylobacter by the end of 2015. That could mean over 100,000 fewer people getting sick. However, campaigners like Professor Tim Lang from (Sustain member) the Centre for Food Policy have urged the FSA to do more to clean up the food industry and the poultry trade by tackling campylobacter in their flocks.
