Posted on January 6, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Poultry World

Campylobacter in broiler meat is one of the leading foodborne pathogens associated with health risks and negative economic impacts worldwide. Campylobacter has several adaptive responses throughout the broiler production chain. Thus, it survives from broiler farm to slaughterhouse and processing plant.

Research -France publishes 2021 Campylobacter data

Posted on January 6, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Data from Campylobacter surveillance in 2021 confirmed trends seen in previous years, according to the most recent statistics published by Santé Publique France.

Findings are based on the National Reference Center (CNR) for Campylobacter and Helicobacter and mandatory declaration of outbreaks. Past data from 2020 showed Campylobacter infections were not impacted by public health measures taken because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Campylobacter has been increasing since 2013 when online data entry was introduced. Scientists said this could reflect an actual rise in infections or it may be because of other factors such as better detection methods.
