Research – Common ways to cook chicken at home may not ensure safety from pathogens

Posted on May 4, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Science Daily

For home cooks, widespread techniques for judging doneness of chicken may not ensure that pathogens are reduced to safe levels. Solveig Langsrud of the Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on April 29, 2020.

Chicken can harbor the bacterial pathogens Salmonella and Campylobacter. High temperatures can kill these microbes, but enough may survive to cause illness if meat is undercooked. Recommendations for monitoring doneness vary widely, and the prevalence and safety of methods commonly used by home cooks have been unclear.

To help clarify consumers’ chicken cooking practices, Lansgrud and colleagues surveyed 3,969 private households across five European countries (France, Norway, Portugal, Romania, and the U.K.) on their personal chicken cooking practices. They also interviewed and observed chicken cooking practices in 75 additional households in the same countries.

This Weeks RASFF Alerts.

Posted on April 24, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Yet again the number of RASFF alerts is low around 50% less than normal, Salmonella accounting for almost half of the total of alerts which includes non-microbiological alerts. Have a guess which country and product accounted for most of the Salmonella’s!

Good to see that Sesame Seeds and Brazilian Black Pepper have made a Salmonella comeback after being absent last week.

Listeria was present in Smoked Fish last week and to complement that alerts Listeria present in a Raw Milk Cheese this week so no surprise there.

Why are people still buying Chicken products from Poland???

Research – Reducing the risk of Salmonella re-contamination in feed

Posted on April 14, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Poultry World

Deploying risk mitigation strategies across the feed-to-food production chain can help assure safe animal feed and poultry production. However, certain processes, such as the desiccation (drying out) of salmonella cells, can circumvent routine cleaning and hygiene practices.

During certain phases of feed production, salmonella cells may become dormant only to re-activate later in the production process. The inability to detect dormant salmonella cells may undermine routine hygiene checks and threaten feed safety. This risk demands strategies that go beyond hydrothermal treatment. Research has shown that preservation strategies, including the application of potent buffered and synergistic blends of organic acids and surfactants, can significantly reduce ­contamination risk during animal feed processing.
