This says that England and Wales report 14.8 cases of salmonella per 100k people. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/711972/salmonella_data_2007_to_2016_may_2018.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... And this says in the US it's 17.8. https://wonder.cdc.gov/nndss/static/2019/annual/2019-table1.html https://wonder.cdc.gov/nndss/static/2019/annual/2019-table1.... So the UK reports fewer cases but not significantly fewer per capita. Also many salmonella cases are not from chicken. The US for instance reports outbreaks caused by pet lizards and many other kinds of food from mangoes to salami.

The US and UK also have very different reporting systems. One issue is that the US doesn’t keep track of whether the salmonella was contracted in a foreign country. The UK does. More broadly, the UK is worried the US isn’t properly monitoring the issue.
