Ireland – Salmonella infections more than double as one outbreak reported

Posted on February 13, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

Irish Times

Salmonella infections this year are more than double the level seen at the start of 2022, and one outbreak has occurred, linked to international travel.

It comes as last month’s recall of potentially infected chicken products continues, though health officials say no cases of salmonella are so far linked to this recall.

There were 39 cases of salmonellosis in the first five weeks of the year, according to the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC), compared with 18 in the same period last year. Six cases were recorded in the week up to February 4th.

One outbreak has been notified to the HPSC this year, involving fewer than five cases and associated with international travel, the Health Service Executive said.

Research – Assessing the Impact of Different Technological Strategies on the Fate of Salmonella in Chicken Dry-Fermented Sausages by Means of Challenge Testing and Predictive Models

Posted on February 12, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

MDPI

Abstract

Salmonella is the main relevant pathogen in chicken dry-fermented sausages (DFS). The safety of shelf-stable DFS must rely on the production process, which should not only prevent growth but promote inactivation of Salmonella. The aim of the study was to assess the behaviour of Salmonella during the production process of two types of low-acid chicken DFS. The impact of the use of starter culture, corrective storage and high-pressure processing (HPP) at different processing times was assessed through challenge testing, i.e., inoculating a cocktail of Salmonella into the meat batter (at 6 Log₁₀ cfu/g) used for sausage manufacture. Sausages of medium (fuet-type, FT) and small (snack-type, ST) calibre were elaborated through ripening (10–15 °C/16 d) and fermentation plus ripening (22 °C/3 d + 14 °C/7 d). Physico-chemical parameters were analysed and Salmonella was enumerated throughout the study. The observed results were compared with the simulations provided by predictive models available in the literature. In FT, a slight decrease in Salmonella was observed during the production process while in ST, a 0.9–1.4 Log₁₀ increase occurred during the fermentation at 22 °C. Accordingly, DFS safety has to be based on the process temperature and water activity decrease, these factors can be used as inputs of predictive models based on the gamma-concept, as useful decision support tool for producers. Salmonella lethality was enhanced by combining HPP and corrective storage strategies, achieving >1 and 4 Log₁₀ reductions for FT and ST, respectively.

Ireland – Precautionary Extended Recall of Some Western Brand Raw Chicken Products Due to Possible Presence of Salmonella

Posted on February 6, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

FSAI

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today advises that a precautionary extended food recall is underway by Western Brand of a number of specific raw chicken products due to the possible presence of Salmonella. This recall is linked to the ongoing investigation by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine into incidences of Salmonella infection in a number of broiler flocks. To date, there have been no confirmed cases of human illness linked to this investigation. The FSAI is warning consumers who may have the affected chicken products at home not to eat them.

The products being recalled are listed in the food alert.

Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive, FSAI has warned consumers not to eat the affected chicken products.

“If anyone has any of the affected chicken product at home, we are advising them not to eat it. To date, there have been no confirmed cases of human illness linked to this investigation. Just as a reminder to consumers, raw chicken should always be handled hygienically to prevent cross contamination with ready-to-eat food and raw chicken should never be washed. Always wash your hands after handling it and always wash any utensils you’ve used to prepare it. Raw chicken should always be cooked thoroughly before eating it.”

The FSAI is liaising with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in its ongoing investigation into broiler flocks and additional testing continues.

Research – Lysine-Derived Maillard Reaction Products Inhibit the Growth of Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium

Posted on February 4, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

MDPI

Abstract

An emerging consumer trend to purchase minimally heated and ready-to-eat food products may result in processing methods that do not effectively reduce pathogenic populations. Crude Maillard reaction products (MRPs) are naturally generated compounds that have been shown to display antimicrobial effects against pathogens. Crude MRPs were generated from reducing sugars (fructose (Fru), glucose (Glc), ribose (Rib) or xylose (Xyl)) with lysine and the melanoidin equivalence was measured using an absorbance of 420 nm (Ab₄₂₀). The relative antimicrobial activity of each MRP was measured by examining both the length of lag phase and maximum growth rate. MRPs were found to significantly shorten the lag phase and decrease the maximum growth rate of S. Typhimurium (p < 0.05). Glucose-lysine MRP (GL MRP) was determined to have the highest relative melanoidin (1.690 ± 0.048 at Ab₄₂₀) and its efficacy against S. Typhimurium populations was measured at 37 °C and at pH 7.0 and estimated on xylose lysine deoxycholate (XLD) agar. GL MRP significantly reduced S. Typhimurium populations by >1 log CFU/mL at 8 and 24 h after inoculation (p < 0.05). GL MRPs also further decreased S. Typhimurium populations significantly under thermal stress condition (55 °C) compared to optimal (37 °C) by ~1 log CFU/mL (p < 0.05). Overall, GL MRP demonstrated effective antimicrobial activity against S. Typhimurium at 37 °C and 55 °C.

Research- Repeated cross-sectional study identifies differing risk factors associated with microbial contamination in common food products in the United Kingdom

Posted on February 3, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

Science Direct

Highlights

•: E. coli was found in 29–99% of the five food types studied.
•: Salmonella was higher in imported frozen chicken than domestic chilled chicken.
•: E. coli and Klebsiella detection were higher in summer and autumn for leafy greens.
•: Klebsiella detection was higher in summer for chicken and pork.
•: Vibrio contamination was common in raw prawns at 60.4%.

Abstract

All foods carry microbes, many of which are harmless, but foods can also carry pathogens and/or microbial indicators of contamination. Limited information exists on the co-occurrence of microbes of food safety concern and the factors associated with their presence. Here, a population-based repeated cross-sectional design was used to determine the prevalence and co-occurrence of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Salmonella spp. and Vibrio spp. in key food commodities – chicken, pork, prawns, salmon and leafy greens. Prevalence in 1,369 food samples for these four target bacterial genera/species varied, while 25.6% of all samples had at least two of the target bacteria and eight different combinations of bacteria were observed as co-occurrence profiles in raw prawns. Imported frozen chicken was 6.4 times more likely to contain Salmonella than domestic chicken, and imported salmon was 5.5 times more likely to be contaminated with E. coli. Seasonality was significantly associated with E. coli and Klebsiella spp. contamination in leafy greens, with higher detection in summer and autumn. Moreover, the odds of Klebsiella spp. contamination were higher in summer in chicken and pork samples. These results provide insight on the bacterial species present on foods at retail, and identify factors associated with the presence of individual bacteria, which are highly relevant for food safety risk assessments and the design of surveillance programmes.

Ireland – Extended recall by Western Brand of some batches of various raw chicken products due to the possible presence of Salmonella

Posted on February 3, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

FSAI

Summary
Category 1:	For Action
Alert Notification:	2023.02 (Update 1)
Product:	Please see table below.
Batch Code:	Please see table below.
Country Of Origin:	Ireland

Message:

Further to Food Alert 2023.02 Western Brand is undertaking a precautionary recall of further batches of various raw chicken products due to the possible presence of Salmonella. Please see table below for details of the implicated batches. Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batches.

Nature Of Danger:

People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.

Action Required:

Manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, caterers & retailers:

Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and to display a point-of-sale recall notice in stores where the affected batches were sold.

Consumers:

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches. If the chicken has already been consumed, cooking should remove the risk. Raw chicken should always be handled hygienically when defrosting and preparing it, and also cooked thoroughly before eating it.
