In Sweden, one single case of salmonella was found in 2020 (when sampling before slaughter). All animals in the population it came from were killed and destroyed, and none of them made it to food stores.
The same stringency is applied to egg production.

- kwhitefoot 5y agoThe real problem is not in detection or distribution. It is in the production methods. Here in Norway chickens are raised in batches and the sheds are cleaned between batches, see https://www.matprat.no/artikler/matproduksjon/hvordan-lever-norsk-kylling/ https://www.matprat.no/artikler/matproduksjon/hvordan-lever-.... But in the US it seems that chickens are raised in continuous production facilities where chicks go in one end and grown chickens come out the other. This method pretty much guarantees that infections can spread. Perhaps someone in possession of the details can conform, clarify, or correct.
- Spooky23 5y agoThis stuff isn’t effectively regulated in the US, so the answer to “Which part of the process is broken?” is “yes”. Chicken raising is problematic, as is the slaughterhouse environment where they are processed.
- uhtred 5y agoThat's fucking tragic. Imagine killing an entire population of humans because some of them were sick. Sadly most people will read that and just think "what a waste of good food". In 500 years humans will be absolutely disgusted by the way we behaved towards other animals in current times.
- pdabbadabba 5y agoI agree that it's sad. But just wait until you find out what happened to all the other chickens...
- uhtred 5y agoI hope since you are so wise about the other chickens' violent fate you are also vegan.
