Abstract The consumption of chicken meat is common in Brazil because this protein-rich food is low cost, has high nutritional value, and is accessible to the entire population. A common cause of foodborne illness has been the ingestion of contaminated, raw, or undercooked poultry products, making contaminated chicken meat a potential source of Campylobacter spp. to humans. The objective of this study was to detect the presence of Campylobacter and assess the potential transmission of campylobacteriosis through refrigerated chicken meat and organs sold for consumption in large supermarkets in the state of Rio de Janeiro. For this purpose, 40 samples of refrigerated chicken were collected; 19 of these were industrially packed and 21 were manipulated in the supermarkets. The samples were subjected to analysis using three different methodologies: in natura, by enrichment, and by incubation of the rinse water. The results revealed the presence of zoonotic, antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter species in chicken meat marketed for human consumption, indicating that raw or undercooked chicken pieces and organs are potential sources of human campylobacteriosis.
