Poultry Slaughterhouses Generate Salmonella and Other Diseases

One in ten U.S. poultry slaughterhouses failed government salmonella tests in 2019. In some health and safety categories the failure rate was as high as 34%. This means that the poultry industry missed their target to reduce salmonella outbreaks, as incidences increased by 9% over the last three years. Since 2013, meat and poultry recalls have also grown by 65% due to animal products being linked to outbreaks of diseases.
