Thought the health board may be appropriate for this
It is hardly surprising that chicken corpses contain bacteria. The scalding tank they pass through to loosen the feathers for plucking has been called a "faecal soup" - the water is contaminated with faeces and blood. When they are gutted, bacteria from the intestines can contaminate the corpse, especially since the processing chain moves so fast (an average of 76 birds/minute in one study (36)), it is very easy to make a mistake with the knife.
Hewre's the link for nayone to read the full article especially if you think it's low fat food.
