The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is on track to introduce a new method of testing campylobacter levels on chicken later this month.
The regulator suspended its quarterly retail survey in march after processors began trimming neck skin – the area of highest contamination – to the extent that a meaningful sample was difficult to take.
Catherine Brown, FSA chief executive, told a recent board meeting phase one of the work on a methodology had concluded and discussed with the Acting on Campylobacter Together (ACT) Board members.
The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has resumed its Campylobacter survey with a revised method.
