E. coli found on 24% of chicken from seven UK chain stores

‘One in four chicken products bought in the UK contains killer antibiotic-resistant E. coli bacteria, according to Cambridge University research. The superbug was found in poultry samples taken from top grocery chains ASDA, Aldi, Co-op, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
The bug can cause serious issues, including urinary tract infections, blood poisoning and kidney failure. In severe cases, or when all antibiotics fail, it can even lead to death.
According to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 2 million people in the United States become infected with some superbug each year, and about 23,000 people die as a direct result of these infections.’
