Keeping Salmonella Out of Chicken

In an editorial, the Los Angeles Times writes that Sweden has virtually eliminated salmonella in store-bought chicken, even though poultry there is industrially produced, just like in the United States. And even in this country, a 2010 Consumers Union study found no salmonella in the organic store-brand chickens it tested. In other words, consumers shouldn’t have to accept salmonella-tainted chicken as just one of those unavoidable things.
