Research – Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of lactic acid to reduce microbiological surface contamination on carcases from kangaroos, wild pigs, goats and sheep

EFSA

Studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of lactic acid to reduce microbiological surface contamination from carcases of wild game (i.e. kangaroos and wild pigs) and small stock (i.e. goats and sheep) before chilling at the slaughterhouse were assessed. Wild pig and kangaroo hide‐on carcases may have been chilled before they arrive at the slaughterhouse and are treated after removal of the hides. Lactic acid solutions (2–5%) are applied to the carcases at temperatures of up to 55°C by spraying or misting. The treatment lasts 6–7 s per carcass side. The Panel concluded that: [1] the treatment is of no safety concern, provided that the lactic acid complies with the European Union specifications for food additives; [2] based on the available evidence, it was not possible to conclude on the efficacy of spraying or misting lactic acid on kangaroo, wild pig, goats and sheep carcases; [3] treatment of the above‐mentioned carcases with lactic acid may induce reduced susceptibility to the same substance, but this can be minimised; there is currently no evidence that prior exposure of food‐borne pathogens to lactic acid leads to the occurrence of resistance levels that compromise antimicrobial therapy; and [4] the release of lactic acid is not of concern for the environment, assuming that wastewaters released by the slaughterhouses are treated on‐site, if necessary, to counter the potentially low pH caused by lactic acid, in compliance with local rules.

Recall from Carrefour
Product: Abbey cheese 230g from the Carrefour brand.
Problem: suspicion of the presence of listeria monocytogenes.


Brussels, 09/05/2022 – Following an inspection and as a precautionary measure to guarantee consumer safety, the MILCOBEL company is requesting that the 230g Carrefour brand Abbey cheese sold in the CATERER section of certain stores be withdrawn from the market Carrefour and Mestdagh in Belgium and remind consumers of this following the possible presence of listeria.

Name: Abbey cheese 230g
EAN code: 3060921462469
Date of minimum durability: All MBDs between 05/12/2022 and 05/14/2022

This product was marketed in the packaged fresh section of your Carrefour or Mestdagh store

from 04/15/2022 to 05/04/2022.

Carrefour has decided, in collaboration with the AFSCA (Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain), to recall these products from consumers.

All products have been withdrawn from sale. Some of these products were, however, marketed on the Belgian market before the withdrawal measure. It is therefore recommended that people who hold the products described above do not consume them and destroy them or bring them back to the point of sale where they will be refunded to you.

People who have consumed the products mentioned above and who have a fever, isolated or accompanied by headaches, are invited to consult their doctor and report this consumption. These symptoms may be aggravated in young children, immunocompromised subjects and the elderly. These symptoms may suggest listeriosis, a disease with an incubation period of up to eight weeks.

For any additional information , you can contact the Carrefour Belgium consumer service by dialing the free number 0800.9.10.11, from 8.30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on working days and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The MILCOBEL Company apologizes to the customers of Carrefour and Mestdagh for the inconvenience caused.
