One hundred and seventy-five samples of diced or minced retail chicken meat were tested
for the prevalence and concentration of Campylobacter spp. to measure the impact of
introducing the mandatory Campylobacter performance target (CPT) to primary broiler
chicken processing on Campylobacter spp. levels in retail uncooked chicken meats. Samples were obtained from retail outlets in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin using the protocol of the 2003–2004 survey. Data generated on the prevalence and concentration of Campylobacter spp. in the chicken meat samples were compared with those from the survey conducted in 2003–2004.
