A new report reveals salmonella is widespread in U.S. poultry production, with major brands like such as Costco regularly exceeding federal safety limits.
The USDA lacks authority to enforce salmonella standards or halt sales; inspectors can only note violations.
When the government reclassified E. coli into a more serious category, there were more recalls and fewer cases of illness.
