[Polish meat giant supplied superbug-infected
chicken to UK shelves]


Was on ITV1HD Lunch news



[A major meat supplier to UK supermarkets
is sourcing chickens dosed with antibiotics
linked to the spread of deadly superbugs,
raising the risk of future outbreaks
of life-threatening disease,
the Bureau of Investigative
Journalism can reveal.

The Polish meat giant SuperDrob is
sourcing chicken from factory farms
that use medicines classified as
“critically important” to human health,
despite the grave risk this poses
to consumers. SuperDrob sells frozen poultry
products to Lidl, Asda and Iceland.

The company was linked to a
fatal salmonella outbreak in 2020 – which TBIJ,
the Guardian and ITV can now reveal
involved bacteria resistant to
multiple drugs – and there were at least
15 salmonella contaminations linked to
SuperDrob poultry in the 18 months
that followed.]
