Retailers and poultry companies are publishing a plan detailing how they will substantially reduce the Campylobacter bacteria in poultry meat.
Launching Tackling Campylobacter – A Commitment Across The Supply Chain today (Monday), the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and British Poultry Council (BPC) said retailers and poultry companies are committed to working together with the Government to find effective solutions to tackle Campylobacter. The bacteria occur naturally in poultry and other animals, but can cause illness in humans. It can be readily controlled by following basic food hygiene and thorough cooking.
