"Brazil and Thailand together account for around 86% of the chicken imported by the EU"

An analysis of recent figures shows that just six Brazilian chicken consignments were turned back at EU ports between May 1 and August 15. This compares with 27 RASFF notifications of Salmonella in Polish poultry. A further 17 notifications involved poultry from other EU countries including France, Netherlands and UK*.
When it comes to non-EU countries, Brazil’s six notifications compares with eight in poultry from Thailand and three in poultry from Chile.
Now I can’t be bothered looking for recent figures, but the first Google hit in Wikipedia says about the USA:
The U.S. government reported as many as 20% of all chickens were contaminated with Salmonella in the late 1990s, and 16.3% were contaminated in 2005
How many notifications do you think there would be from 20% of all ******* chickens?Comment

Rather be poorly informed than a bold faced liar so suit my agenda. What is it with populists and lying?
This is where the UK gets its poultry from. Is it big enough enough for you?
