A mapping of the informal food value chain revealed that there are four possible value chains and that chicken spilled over from formal to informal markets. The prevalence of S. aureus in RTE chicken samples (44%; 90% CI: 36.1%-52.2%) was high. The mean S. aureus counts in the ready to eat chicke...
