USA – No reduction in human illnesses from poultry-caused Salmonella

Posted on July 3, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

“While the prevalence of Salmonella contamination in regulated poultry products has decreased by more than 50 percent in recent years, there has not been a reduction in human illnesses attributable to poultry,” a new USDA report says.

USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has released a survey of Not-Ready-to-Eat Breaded and Stuffed Chicken Products for Salmonella. The June report was prepared by FSIS’s Laboratory Quality Assurance, Response, and Coordination (LQARCS) staff in the Office of Public Health.

According to the survey report: “FSIS worked with the Food Emergency Response Network to test for the presence of Salmonella and sanitary indicator aerobic organism counts using the current validated methods employed by 11 state public health and agriculture laboratories. From July 1, 2022, to September 30, 2022, the laboratories purchased approximately 15 samples of the product per month from nearby retail locations.
