Study finds drug-resistant bacteria in Canadian supermarket chicken
About 67 percent of chicken has harmful bacteria, according to a study conducted by ?Marketplace,? a Canadian consumer advocacy newsmagazine that is broadcast on CBC Television.
?Marketplace? researchers wanted to test grocery store chicken for harmful, drug-resistant bacteria and bought 100 samples of poultry from supermarket chains in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. The samples included some of the ?most familiar names in the poultry business,? says CBC News.
Lab analysis of the chicken found that two-thirds, or 67 percent, had bacteria. But the surprise wasn?t just the E. coli, salmonella and campylobacter bacteria found in the chicken. Rather it was that all of the bacteria was resistant to at least one antibiotic...more from the source.
