Salmonella bacteria is equally likely in free range chickens as it is in non-organically raised chicken. Try to keep up with the lit on the topic! If that's the case, then why should people care terribly much about salmonella. It's unavoidable because they're chickens for christ's sake and you prevent poisoning by not eating undercooked chicken or raw eggs!
