Meanwhile, UKZN's Professor Sandi Willows-Munro explains why our poultry products are safe to eat.
"We are lucky in South Africa that we have very tight safety control of our foods." says Willow-Munro.
"Our chickens are monitored all the time at the farms, and so we can be happy that all our chickens and eggs that we buy in the supermarket are safe for consumption."
