Food Safety News

An unnamed egg producer has been fined in Wales for not following Salmonella testing rules.

In September 2023, a case was brought by the Welsh Government against an egg company for non-compliance with Salmonella testing legislation for laying hens.

Not following these requirements is a criminal offence under the Eggs and Chicks (Wales) Regulations 2010.

The business was fined £1,000 ($1,220) and ordered to pay a £100 ($122) victim surcharge. They were also told to pay £2,121 ($2,600) for prosecution costs.

UK dealing with E. coli and Salmonella outbreaks

Posted on September 28, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

The United Kingdom is dealing with a serious outbreak of E. coli and several strains of Salmonella Enteritidis, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

One more case has been added to the ongoing Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O183 outbreak, bringing the total to 25 sick since May.

One person has died; while most patients live in England, others are sick in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

FSA and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) are trying to find the source with help from other public health agencies. Several product supply chains have been investigated, but no vehicle of infection has yet been identified.

FSA is also investigating outbreaks of separate strains of Salmonella Enteritidis linked to Polish eggs and poultry products.

One outbreak is behind 47 confirmed cases, of which 25 were linked to a restaurant and another 18 ill people had probable restaurant exposure.

Polish authorities found Salmonella Enteriditis at one site that sent eggs to the UK. Eggs from this source have also been linked to a second UK restaurant associated with the outbreak.

Taiwan – Victims of banh mi food poisoning in northern Taiwan reach 520

Posted on August 10, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Taiwan News

As of 10 p.m. on Tuesday (Aug. 8), the incident had sickened 520 people, with 41 hospitalized. The Food and Drug Administration will mount an inspection campaign targeting stalls and eateries selling exotic cuisines.

Among those feeling unwell after consuming food from the stall, 354 sought medical help and 32 were hospitalized, as of Monday (Aug. 7). Symptoms reported include diarrhea, stomach pain and cramps, fever, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

A task force has been formed to deal with the case, said the Department of Public Health of the northern city in Taiwan.

A preliminary investigation found seven out of 21 samples from the stall tested positive for Salmonella bacteria. More examinations are being conducted to identify the source of infection.

Inspectors said the eggs used to make mayonnaise had not been fully cleaned and the mayo products prepared in advance were not properly refrigerated when delivered to the stall. Salmonella infections have been a major cause of food poisoning events in Taiwan over recent years, according to the health agency.
