Salmonella found on chicken has become one of the top food safety issues in the U.S. Around one in four pieces of raw chicken is estimated to be contaminated with salmonella today.
In a new Frontline report airing Tuesday evening on SDPB-TV, The Trouble with Chicken, correspondent David Hoffman investigates recent salmonella outbreaks and why standards and laws haven’t kept up with the increasing danger posed by some strains of the bacteria. Hoffman’s recent Frontline reports include The Trouble with Antibiotics and Hunting the Nightmare Bacteria.
Hoffman joined Dakota Midday and discussed his investigation.
