DESCRIPTION: Foster Farms chicken may have infected and sickened more than 10,000 people due to contamination of the meat with fecal material.

Salmonella contamination is also a problem in the U.S. egg supply, sickening more than 100,000 people every year. See my video Total Recall (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/total-recall/).

Other pathogens in meat include Yersinia enterocolitica in pork (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/yersinia-in-pork/), Staphylococcus (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/u-s-meat-supply-flying-at-half-staph/), MRSA (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mrsa-in-u-s-retail-meat/), Hepatitis E (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hepatitis-e-virus-in-pork/), bladder-infecting E coli (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoiding-chicken-to-avoid-bladder-infections/), Clostridium difficile (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/toxic-megacolon-superbug/), and Campylobacter, the most common bacterial chicken pathogen (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/poultry-and-paralysis/).

Poultry appears to cause the most outbreaks, but is all chicken to blame equally? See my video Superbugs in Conventional Chicken vs. Organic Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/superbugs-in-conventional-vs-organic-chicken/).

How is it legal for Foster Farms to continue to ship our meat known to be contaminated with a dangerous pathogen? See my previous video: Why is Selling Salmonella Tainted Chicken Still Legal? (http://nutritionfacts.org/2013/10/01/why-is-selling-salmonella-tainted-chicken-still-legal/). And my next video: Chicken Salmonella Thanks to Meat Industry Lawsuit (http://nutritionfacts.org/2014/01/10/chicken-salmonella-thanks-to-meat-industry-lawsuit/).
