This is a great misuse of data and not relevant as presented.

Perhaps the US has a significantly higher per capita consumption of Salmonella infection vectors. Perhaps people in the US are less clean in ways that increase infections. Perhaps EU cases are under reported.

Most cases of salmonella I've read are down to salads and not been overlooked by health service: https://www.nhs.uk/news/food-and-diet/bagged-salads-pose-sal...

Maybe USA eats more salads - but agreed, pushing out this data without a breakdown going X % was due to chicken and outlying the data without that context to induce a perception that all is due to such chicken is a bit off-key.
