2.1. Sampling
In the period 2001–2010, samples of fresh chilled and frozen
imported and Danish produced broiler meat were randomly collected
nationwide from local retail establishments. Before 2007 samples only
included whole broiler carcasses; while from 2007, samples included
whole broiler carcasses, fillets and legs. The change in sampling plan
was a consequence of changing consumer purchasing behaviour. The
samples collected should, according to the sampling plan, reflect the
products available in the counter at retail. Data showed disequilibrium
between the four categories of meat in the proportion of samples with
and without skin. The frozen meat (Danish produced and import) and
Danish produced chilled meat were predominantly comprised of samples
with skin,while themajority of the imported chilled meat samples
were without skin.
The samples were collected and analysed by the Danish Regional
Veterinary and Food Authorities. All samples were collected at
random with no knowledge of Campylobacter status. The number of
samples collected for each category within years is presented in
