Health expert accuses NZ Food Safety of 'very poor' performance over campylobacter rates
Full story
A health expert criticized the performance of NZ Food Safety regarding campylobacter rates. The agency's leader disputed this by stating that reported foodborne campylobacter infections decreased by half between 2006 and 2020. Since that period, the rates have dropped by another 20 percent.
But the agency's boss says reported rates of foodborne campylobacter infections halved between 2006 and 2020, and have decreased by a further 20 percent since then.
