The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) expands the information regarding the alert for the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis in soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk from Spain (Ref: ES2024 /442) .
As a result of the study of an outbreak of salmonellosis in Catalonia with five affected, a new soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk from the F ormatgeria Mas d’Eroles brand has tested positive for Salmonella spp.
These products are being withdrawn from the marketing channels since the start of the alert notification.
People who have products included in this alert at home are advised to refrain from consuming them.
As an extension of the information transmitted on 07/08/2024, the autonomous community of Catalonia has informed the Spanish Food Safety and Nutrition Agency through the Coordinated Rapid Information Exchange System (SCIRI) that as a result from the study of an outbreak of salmonellosis in Catalonia with five affected, a new soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk has tested positive for Salmonella spp.

Botrytis cinerea a blueberry grey mould, is one of the main diseases affecting postharvest storage, causing significant losses. To better control the postharvest gray mould of blueberry, the effects of KXF 6501 fermentation solution (YY) and KXF6501 cell-free supernatant (SQ) on the induction of disease resistance in blueberry fruits were studied using biochemical and transcriptomic analyses. The results showed that YY and SQ controlled the conidial germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea in vitro. After 3 d of culture, the lesion diameter and incidence of gray mould in blueberry fruits inoculated with YY and SQ were significantly smaller than those in the control group. Transcription spectrum analysis of blueberry peel tissue showed that the YY- and SQ-induced phenylpropane metabolic pathways had more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) than other biological pathways. In addition, biochemical analyses showed that YY and SQ treatments effectively enhanced the activity of enzymes related to the phenylpropane pathway (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase [PAL], cinnamate 4-hydroxylase [C4H], 4-coumarate CoA ligase [4CL], and polyphenol oxidase [PPO]) and stimulated the synthesis of lignin, total phenols, and flavonoids. Compared with the control, the YY and SQ treatments reduced the weight loss rate and better maintained the appearance and nutritional quality of the blueberry fruits. Thus, it can be concluded that Bacillus tequilensis KXF6501 is potentially useful as a suitable bio-control agent in harvested blueberries.
The sushi industry has witnessed a remarkable surge in popularity worldwide, captivating the palates of millions with its unique flavors and convenience offerings. Originating from Japan, sushi has transcended cultural boundaries to become a beloved culinary delicacy enjoyed by consumers globally.
The sushi industry experienced a major surge in sales during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and is valued at over $10 billion annually, with over $3 billion from to-go sushi and $7 billion from restaurants as of 2023.1 Sushi data is not frequently broken out in supermarkets, but is consolidated in the seafood department or prepared foods department sales. A more realistic industry estimate is that the supermarket sushi-to-go market alone is worth over $5 billion annually.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA, 食品藥物管理署) announced Thursday (Aug. 8) that recent inspections revealed two food products exceeding mycotoxin limits, including excessive aflatoxin in peanut powder and citrinin in red yeast rice.
From April to June, the FDA and local health officials tested 240 samples, including rice, wheat, peanuts, red yeast products, coffee, and baby food. Among these, two products—peanut powder and red yeast rice—failed to meet safety standards.

A Listeria outbreak traced to Boar’s Head deli meats has claimed another life and sickened more people.
As of Aug. 8, there were 43 confirmed patients across 13 states. All of the patients have required hospitalization. Three of the patients have died. The patients range in age from 32 to 94 years old.
“Epidemiologic, laboratory, and traceback data show that meats sliced at deli counters, including Boar’s Head brand liverwurst, are contaminated with Listeria and are making people sick,” according to an update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
