Tesco has revealed a further reduction of levels of campylobacter in its fresh chickens.
According to the retailer, campylobacter at the highest incident level has fallen to 7% in the final quarter of 2014/15, compared to almost 9% for the previous quarter.
As it stands, Tesco is on course to meet the target it set itself last summer, which will deliver a reduction in the presence of campylobacter at the highest level in at least 95% of chickens by 2017.
