    "A food bug that causes 55,000 people to fall ill every year is present on 65 per cent of chicken on sale in the UK, research showed today.

    Campylobacter, which causes diarrhoea, cramping and abdominal pain, was found in almost two thirds of chicken samples tested, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) found. Salmonella was in 6 per cent of samples."
