UK – Second egg assurance system backed in UK –

Food Safety News

Vulnerable people have been given the go ahead to eat raw and lightly cooked eggs produced under a second system after it was backed by regulators in the United Kingdom.

Hen shell eggs produced under the Laid in Britain assurance scheme were deemed safe to be eaten by infants, children, pregnant women and elderly people, either raw or in foods with lightly cooked eggs such as mousses and fresh mayonnaise.

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have amended advice on egg consumption by vulnerable consumers.

The Laid In Britain Code of Practice, managed by the United Kingdom Egg Producers Association, was judged to produce eggs that are considered “very low” risk of Salmonella by the FSA and FSS. It is aimed at independent egg producers and retailers who supply regionally and locally.

Research -Reducing the risks of bacterial-borne diseases in shrimp farms

The Fish Site

KSWFOODWORLD

Vibrios are some of the most unwelcome bacteria in the global shrimp farming sector, causing diseases including EMS and costing the sector billions as year. However, as we explain in this article, there are a huge number of ways for farmers to reduce the risks of vibrio-related diseases.

Vibriosis is one of the most severe bacterial diseases in shrimp aquaculture, and is caused by the infection of pathogenic and/or opportunistic Vibrio bacteria. It can lead to mortality of up to 100 percent and is estimated to cause the shrimp sector US$ 3 billion in global losses a year. One of the most recent cases of vibrio-related diseases is early mortality syndrome (EMS), which is also known as acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and has put a huge dent in the profits from Asian shrimp production in the last decade.
