食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊    據(jù)美國食品安全新聞網(wǎng)消息，與去年同期相比，英國店鋪內(nèi)雞肉的銷量下降7%，銷售額下降4%。專家推測，這可能與媒體報道雞肉受彎曲桿菌污染有關(guān)。

    今年英國媒體對雞肉含大量彎曲桿菌做了重點報道。起初一名舉報人披露，兩家大型雞肉公司的衛(wèi)生狀況堪憂。之后英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局發(fā)布報告稱，70%的生鮮雞肉受到彎曲桿菌污染。

    部分原文報道如下：

    Grocery purchases of chicken in the United Kingdom have declined nearly 7 percent by volume and 4 percent by sales since this time last year.

    Experts are speculating that the public has been influenced by media coverage of the high levels of Campylobacter contamination found on raw chicken, according to meatinfo.co.uk.

    Media coverage related to food safety in the UK has largely focused on Campylobacter in chicken this year. First, a whistleblower at a poultry factory revealed alleged violations of hygiene rules for two major chicken producers, and, later in the year, the UK's Food Standards Agency released a report stating that 70 percent of fresh whole chickens bought in the UK are contaminated with some level of Campylobacter.
