According to a study, the Salmonella prevalence on tested foods on sale in the United Kingdom was low but highest for imported frozen chicken.
Researchers from the Quadram Institute and the University of East Anglia in England isolated Salmonella from 42 food samples.
Salmonella isolates collected from food using whole genome sequencing (WGS) were compared to isolates from humans in the UK.
Raw foods were collected at retail in Norfolk, including 311 samples each of chicken, leafy greens, and pork, 279 prawns, and 157 salmon between May 2018 and November 2019.
