Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni was found in 82.9% of 94 chicken wing packages analyzed on the day of arrival at supermarkets and in 15.5% of 45 packages obtained from the supermarket shelves a few days later. The number of bacterial cells ranged from 102 to 103.9 per wing. The prevalence of C. jejuni in the wings varied with the brand, the day of sampling, and the age of the product.
