To address this evidence gap, we are inviting tenders to carry out a survey of E. coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella and AMR on frozen chicken meat on retail sale in the UK. The survey should include UK-produced and imported frozen chicken. We anticipate that the survey will be in two Lots: Lot 1. Survey design, sample collection at retail and transportation to the testing laboratory Lot 2. Microbiological testing, data analysis and reporting.
Applicants should submit bids indicating a provisional design for a survey on E. coli, Campylobacter and Salmonella and AMR found on raw frozen chicken meat on retail sale in the UK. Sample collection For this survey, the frozen chicken items will need to be evenly sampled over a 12-month period commencing from October 2025 and concluding at the end of September 2026. Given the lack of AMR data on UK retail frozen chicken, we suggest sampling 300 (+5% contingency) frozen chicken samples at retail supermarkets as this will enable us to create a new baseline for AMR E. coli whilst also providing updated prevalence figures for Campylobacter and Salmonella Full details are in the specification document.
