Research – Strategies to Reduce Clostridium botulinum Risk in Fresh-Cut Produce

Posted on June 27, 2023 by | 2 comments

food safety.com

The risks associated with Clostridium botulinum and low-acid canned foods, meats, seafood, and temperature-abused foods are generally well-established. However, there has been increasing consideration toward C. botulinum and its potential as a pathogen of concern for fresh-cut vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms.

For an industry segment beleaguered by recent outbreaks of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Listeria monocytogenes, consideration of a bacterial pathogen with vastly different growth characteristics—one that is less traditionally associated with fresh produce—may seem burdensome. However, recent incidences of C. botulinum in packaged mushrooms,1 increased characterization of the growth conditions required by nonproteolytic C. botulinum, widespread industry adoption of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and even increasing fuel costs may necessitate a second look at this pathogen’s association with fresh produce.

Research – New insights on bacteria that causes food poisoning

Posted on June 27, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Science Daily

A joint research group has clarified how pathogenic genes in some Providencia spp., which have gained attention as causative agents of food poisoning as well as enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. O157 and Salmonella, are transferred within bacterial cells. Their findings are expected to provide new insights into the identification of infection routes of Providencia spp. and the establishment of preventive methods for food poisoning.

Posted on June 26, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Roya News

There are six suspected food poisoning cases in Mafraq, allegedly in relation to a takeaway restaurant, according to a medical source Thursday.

The source told Roya that the people arrived at the Talal Military Hospital, saying that they had eaten food from a restaurant and developed symptoms of food poisoning.

Another source confirmed that a restaurant in the governorate was suspended from operating due to violations.

The source added that if it was found that the food poisoning was caused by the restaurant’s food, legal measures will be taken against the concerned management.
