According to consumer reports 2/3 whole store bought chickens have salmonella or campylobacter or even both. These diseases infect 3,400,000 people, send 25,000 to the doctor, and kill 500 people every year. According to CDC 20 percent of salmonella cases and 55 percent of campylobacter cases are resistant to at least one antibiotic.
Here are some ways that chicken gets contaminated.
Hatchery- pecking at contaminated feces
Store- improper temperature
Plant- scalding in contaminated water
