FSA welcomes latest campylobacter results

The Food Standards Agency has welcomed new data from their second year survey of campylobacter on fresh shop-bought chickens.

The data show that fewer chickens tested postive for the highest level of contamination (down to 15% from 22% last year) and also for the presences of campylobacter (down to 76% from 83% last year).
