Higher-welfare chicken farming could be a “secret weapon” in curbing the UK’s most common cause of food poisoning, the RSPCA says, after a study linked factory-farmed birds to soaring rates of infection in people.

University of Oxford researchers last month revealed that the way in which most chickens are reared for meat in the UK increased the disease behind food poisoning more than 100-fold.
