99% of Dutch Chickens Contaminated with ESBL Strains (HAIcontroversies.com)

From De Telegraaf (De nummer 1 in nieuws), we have a report that 99% of retail chickens produced with intensive farming and sold in Dutch Supermarkets are contaminated with ESBL-containing bacteria. Organic chicken appears to be far less contaminated, perhaps 1/8th as likely. My Dutch is a little rusty, so I’ve provided the sources. Either way, fear the kipfilet!!
