Modern poultry farming has made it easier for diseases to spread between birds and to humans.
The Foods Standards Agency has recalled frozen raw breaded chicken products – such as nuggets, goujons, dippers, poppers and kievs – which are contaminated with salmonella and have caused hundreds of cases of food poisoning and at least one death in the UK.
The vast majority of cases of food poisoning are caused by meat, chicken, eggs, fish or dairy. If plant foods are to blame, it is usually because they are contaminated by animal faeces.
