Chicken is probably one of the last things I'd eat raw.
Campylobacter: Can we slow the clock on this chicken timebomb?
Campylobacter is globally the cause of one in four diarrhoeal diseases (WHO, 2020), and the
most common cause of food poisoning in the UK (NHS, 2021) with approximately 70 percent of all human campylobacter infections coming from chicken (FSA, 2021). While there are consistently more than 50,000 confirmed cases (2009–2017) in England and Wales alone (Public Health England, 2017), there are more than 246,000 cases reported in the EU annually. However, it is believed that the actual number is much closer to nine million each year (EFSA, 2021). This is likely due to gastrointestinal diseases often just having the symptoms treated rather than formal identification of the underlying cause.
