Togolese authorities have destroyed 5,000 tonnes of contaminated frozen chickens imported from an unnamed European country.
In a statement, the government said the chickens were seized a few days ago at Togo's main harbour following a tip-off from European Union health officials.
The chickens tested positive for the salmonella bacteria.
Many people here are now scared of buying frozen chicken.
Last year, Togolese authorities seized 24 tons of contaminated fish imported from China by a Togolese company.
