Summary

772 samples were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella spp., Salmonella enteriditis, Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. Poultry samples were contaminated with Salmonella (36.5%), C. jejuni and C. coli (28.5%) , and L. monocytogenes (38.2%). In about 12.3% of the poultry samples, the L. monocytogenes contamination level exceeded 1 CFU per g or cm2. Significant differences in pathogen contamination rates of poultry products were noticed between the poultry products originating from Belgian, French, and UK abattoirs.
