Hah.

The US poultry industry is so bad at looking after their animals they have to wash carcasses in chlorine to even _approach_ safe levels of pathogens like salmonella and campylobacter.

I'd assume the effort is similar between bats and snakes being sold in an open air market in a Chinese village and chicken, pigs and cows being sold in an open air market in a Chinese village.

Seems like someone's never left a first-world country before...

The USDA is implementing a plan where the companies inspect themselves with little oversight from anyone. Maybe in Europe it's better.
