FSANZ patulin survey finds low risk to public

Posted on December 19, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

An Australian survey of patulin in apple juice and other apple products has found the concentration in most items was low.

In 2020, ​​​​​several apple juice products were recalled because of high patulin levels. In response, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and other government, state, and territory health authorities ran a survey to determine if the amount of patulin in foods posed a risk to consumers.

Patulin is a natural toxin produced by certain molds, sometimes found in fruits, vegetables, and cereals. The likelihood of contamination in apples is influenced by the condition of the fruit at harvest and handling and storage conditions. There are no maximum limits for patulin in Australia. However, levels should be kept as low as reasonably achievable.

Juice made from fallen fruit is at higher risk of contamination than those made from tree apples. Any patulin already present in apples is not destroyed by pasteurization.

Posted on December 18, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

More information has been shared by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) about Salmonella in poultry meat and eggs from Poland.

There have been 200 cases of salmonellosis this year in the United Kingdom caused by different strains of Salmonella Enteritidis linked to such products.

FSA has investigated more than 90 incidents in the past two years, with two outbreaks linked to eggs and three to poultry meat from Poland this year.

The FSA, Food Standards Scotland (FSS), and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) recently told consumers to take care when handling and cooking chicken, turkey, and duck products at home. Catering sites are using the majority of imported eggs.
