Federal officials are moving to set new limits on salmonella in raw poultry products in the U.S. The Agriculture Department's proposal is aimed at reducing the number of people who get sick. The testing requirements would block the sale of any products that don't meet the new standard and allow for recalls.

Martin Bucknavage, a Penn State food scientist, said tracking specific levels and types of the bacteria is “not an easy thing,” especially at the fast pace at which poultry hits store shelves.
