Can you imagine any other product where 2/3 of the products leave the factory "unsafe" until US consumers did something to render them safe(r)? Well apparently that's apparently business as usual for the US chicken industry, as recently documented by Consumer Reports. CR tested nearly 400 whole chickens from 100 stores in 22 states and found that TWO THIRDS of the chickens had either salmonella, campylobacter or both. Tellingly, organic chickens had ZERO contamination.
