Food Poisoning News

Though many may not realize it, pets can make people ill too. These illnesses can be transferred from the dog to its loving owner (or “caretaker”) and can range from something as minor as a skin infection to a more major life-threatening illness. One illness that dogs can carry is Salmonella. Salmonella is most widely known as a typical foodborne illness that can cause several symptoms. But dogs can acquire salmonella (or many other types of bacteria) by playing in the yard, where wild animals have been. They then bring it inside and spread it around. Soon, caretakers are suffering the symptoms of salmonellosis, which include fever, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Though most people are able to recover on their own, some require hospitalization.

The source of the salmonella in these cases is rarely identified.

Research – Salmonella rising in British raw meat pet food

Pet Food Industry

The occurrence of Salmonella in raw pet food seems to be rising in Great Britain. Raw meat pet food had the highest number of Salmonella contaminated samples of all the feeds tested by the UK’s Animal and Plant Health Agency scientists. The agency report “Salmonella in Animals and Feed in Great Britain 2021” documented an upward trend.

In 2021, the agency’s laboratories isolated 295 instances of Salmonella from raw pet food available on the British market. That’s up 8.1% from 2020’s 273 isolations, and 20.4% higher than 2019 with 245 isolations.

Some of these Salmonella bacteria were from strains with resistance to drugs used to fight infection. These potentially dangerous pathogens were found in 71 of the samples taken in 2021. These made up 57.3% of the total regulated varieties of Salmonella found by the Animal and Plant Health Agency in 2021 among all feeds and locations tested. The proportion of drug-resistant Salmonella in British raw meat pet food didn’t increase much over 2020, but did show an upward tendency compared to 2019.

“Contaminated raw meat pet food, which does not undergo any heat treatment to deactivate pathogens, may therefore represent a potential source of infection to both the dogs consuming it and people who handle it, especially if insufficient hygiene measures are adopted,” the report authors wrote.
