Campylobacter in UK Chickens
Concerns are growing about antibiotic resistance of food-poisoning bacteria carried by poultry, according to a new report. Campylobacter, which is present in many shop chickens, is becoming resistant to frontline drugs, a study in 28 EU countries has found. It reduces the options for treating human infections, say scientists. A separate report by the UK's Food Standards Agency found campylobacter in UK chickens remained at high levels.Tests over the past nine months found 73 per cent of chickens in supermarkets contained campylobacter, which makes 280,000 people ill every year and can cause death.
Germguard has been independently tested and proven effective against Campylobacter.
The Ebola Virus
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Both agencies have advised using disinfectants that have efficacy claims against non enveloped viruses.
There are no specific label claims against Ebola as yet. However, because it is much harder to destroy non enveloped viruses than it is to destroy an enveloped viruses like Ebola, the use of disinfectants with a label claim of being effective against a non enveloped virus will be effective against Ebola.
Gemguard has been independently tested and proven effective against non enveloped viruses.
