Chicken Superbug: More Than 50 Percent of Chicken Has ‘Superbug’ Bacteria
[Oh great. Just great. Why do we keep getting so much bad news about chicken?]

Chicken is heavy with “superbug” bacteria, a watchdog group said on Thursday.

Consumer Reports tested 316 samples of chicken across the United States, including 252 samples from conventionally produced chicken, and 64 from brands that use no antibiotics in raising chickens, including 24 organic samples.

The group found that every one of the chicken samples from the four major brands (Perdue, Pilgrim’s, Sanderson Farms, and Tyson) contained “worrisome amounts” of bacteria–”even the chicken breasts labeled ‘no antibiotics’ or ‘organic.’”

Almost none of the samples were totally free from bacteria.

There is no bacteria-free chicken/beef/pork
unless it is irradiated.
Mammals have bacteria.
YOU have bacteria.

That's right. Everybody knows that, and most everybody knows about clean preparation techniques for chicken.

However, superbacteria are more resistant to normal precautions.

You might want to read up on the difference between garden variety bacteria and the emergent strains of superbacteria, which this article deals with.
