Baker slams MPI over contaminated chicken

Chicken meat news

Public health professor and prominent COVID mRNA jab advocate Michael Baker has criticised the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) for failing to adequately control campylobacter contamination in fresh chicken, describing the situation as a regulatory failure.

Baker told state-funded media that authorities are placing too much responsibility on consumers rather than requiring poultry producers to reduce contamination, and has called for mandatory labelling to identify potentially hazardous products.

He estimates contaminated chicken accounts for 77 percent of human campylobacter infections, causing hundreds of hospitalisations and thousands of illnesses annually.



However, New Zealand Food Safety disputes his assessment, pointing to declining infection rates and a substantial reduction in contamination detected on processed chicken. The agency has set a target to reduce infections by 15 percent by 2030 and maintains that consumer education, improved processing standards and existing safety measures are more effective than mandatory warning labels.
