Article Synopsis
- Two chicken processing plants in California studied the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni across different factors like bird age and scald water temperature.
- Scalding at higher temperatures (60°C) did not significantly reduce C. jejuni presence in edible chicken parts, contrasting with lower temperatures (49°C and 53°C) that were more effective.
- The study found high rates of contamination, with C. jejuni present in 68% of market-ready products, and a strong correlation between the bacteria in intestinal tracts and the contamination of edible parts.
