Test claims 48% of packaged raw chicken contained E. coli
A recent study by vegetarian-advocate group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine claims that in a recent test of packaged raw chicken products bought at grocery stores across the country, 48 percent of the 120 packages contained E. coli bacteria.
“Most consumers do not realize that feces are in the chicken products they purchase,” said Dr. Neal D. Barnard, president of the group. “Food labels discuss contamination as if it is simply the presence of bacteria, but people need to know that it means much more than that.”
