Poultry industry pushes back after report shows salmonella is widespread in grocery store chicken (www.latimes.com)

A new report reveals salmonella is widespread in U.S. poultry production, with major brands like such as Costco regularly exceeding federal safety limits.

The USDA lacks authority to enforce salmonella standards or halt sales; inspectors can only note violations.

When the government reclassified E. coli into a more serious category, there were more recalls and fewer cases of illness.

I like Costco as a business (at least as much as one can like any business) but I refuse to buy their chicken. I've never opened a package of it that wasn't covered in pink slime and had an odor.

Hmm, that might be a bad sign for your area. I've gone to costco in different states and countries, and the chicken was always fine. I believe different regions get different suppliers. I've even noticed variations between multiple Costcos in a city.
