The laboratory analyzed the samples for the presence of important pathogens commonly associated with foodborne illness: Salmonella, Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Enterococci. Laboratory technicians also analyzed the samples for the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria; in particular, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and any other bacteria that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), an indicator of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Out of the total number of analyzed chicken products sourced from all five countries, the analysis found:

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria in 50 percent of samples
MRSA in 23 percent of samples
E. coli in 57 percent of samples
Salmonella in 9.2 percent of samples
L. monocytogenes in 33.1 percent of samples
C. jejuni in 28.2 percent of samples
Enterococci in 47.9 percent of samples.
Only two samples (1.4 percent) had no positives for any of the bacteria for which the laboratory was looking. Interestingly, with respect to Salmonella, nearly all samples that tested positive for the pathogen were Italian—11 of the 13 samples that tested positive for Salmonella across all five countries came from Italian Lidl stores.
