Broiler chickens raised for meat need millions of tons of litter, or bedding material, each year. Reusing chicken litter can save costs, but the practice has some health and safety concerns, according to an announcement from the American Society of Agronomy.

A new study shows that the environment in reused poultry litter can deter growth of pathogens like salmonella.

Research – Poland’s Salmonella poultry problem continues

Posted on May 29, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

 

A variety of European countries have issued nearly 100 warnings about Salmonella in chilled and frozen poultry from Poland since the start of March this year.

Data from the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) portal shows alerts from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Italy, France and Romania. Most notifications were made by Lithuania, followed by Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

Involved serotypes include Enteritidis, Infantis, Typhimurium, Saintpaul, Derby, Newport, and Mbandaka. European regulation on fresh poultry mentions Salmonella Enteritidis and Typhimurium as a food safety criterion as these serotypes represent the main risk for public health. It considers chicken contaminated with other types as compliant or that it should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

The EU produced an estimated 15.2 million tons of poultry meat in 2018. The main producer in that year with 2.5 million tons was Poland.

USA – Multistate outbreak of Salmonella Hadar infections linked to contact with backyard poultry

Posted on May 21, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Outbreak News Today

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health officials in several states report investigating an outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to contact with live poultry, such as chicks and ducklings, in backyard flocks.

Officials say a total of 97 people have been infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Hadar from 28 states. 17 people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

About 1/3 of the cases were in children younger than 5 years of age.

Epidemiologic evidence shows that contact with backyard poultry (such as chicks and ducklings) is the likely source of this outbreak.

People can get sick from Salmonella from touching live poultry or their environment. Birds carrying the bacteria can appear healthy and clean.

Spring and summer are always popular times for people to purchase chicks, ducklings, and other live poultry. As people tend to their new flocks, increases in Salmonella infections linked to live poultry are usually reported.

A series of reports from RASFF (the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed):
-Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium (present /25g) in chilled turkey meat from Poland in Poland (Notification date: 30/4/2020)
-Salmonella enterica ser. Enteritidis (presence /25g) in chilled chicken breasts from Poland in Slovakia (28/4/2020)
-Salmonella enterica ser. Enteritidis (presence /25g) in chilled chicken quarters from Poland in Slovakia (24/4/2020)
-Salmonella enterica ser. Infantis (presence /25g) in frozen chicken legs from Poland in Lithuania (24/4/2020)
-Salmonella enterica ser. Enteritidis (in 2 out of 5 samples /25g) in chilled chicken wings from Poland in Lithuania (24/4/2020)

-Salmonella enterica ser. Newport (3 out of 5 samples /50g) in frozen chicken breast fillets from Poland in Romania (24/4/2020)

Is this the quality of Europe’s largest poultry producer?

I have to agree most of the products are being sold to other eastern European countries although Italy was included in this weeks alerts.
