据英国食品标准局消息，英国食品标准局日前发布最新数据称，高达三分之一的人一生中可能会感染常见于鸡肉上面的弯曲杆菌。本次数据建立在28万人的当前感染几率之上。
据统计，每年约有28万人会因弯曲杆菌食物中毒而患病。综合考虑人们的生活方式以及饮食，英国食品标准局推算，高达三分之一的人一生有感染弯曲杆菌的可能。研究发现，减少严重感染禽的数量，可以将公共卫生风险降低约50%，使得数以万计人避免食物中毒的可能。

up to a third of us could fall ill with campylobacter at some point in our lives. We all have a responsibility to do what we can to reduce that figure.Campylobacter is most frequently found on raw poultry and is the biggest cause of food poisoning in the UK. The FSA has released the figure to mark the start of 2015's Food Safety Week and the launch of the 'Chicken Challenge' – its call to the whole food chain, from industry to consumers, to do their bit to halve the number of campylobacter food poisoning cases by the end of 2015.
Over a quarter of a million people in the UK – an estimated 280,000 – currently fall ill with campylobacter food poisoning per year. Depending on people's lifestyle and diet the FSA estimates that campylobacter will affect up to one third of people during their lifetimes. Research has shown that reducing the numbers of the most highly contaminated birds would reduce the public health risk by around 50%, saving thousands of people a year from falling prey to a painful form of food poisoning which, in some cases, can result in paralysis.
