In a statement released on Saturday, the agency confirmed that in just two days, twenty more people sought medical help for the illness “associated with consumption of shawarma,” thus bringing the total number of affected to 76, including 19 children.

USA – FDA issues advisory over Darwin’s Natural Pet Products over Salmonella concerns

Posted on August 21, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a cautionary advisory to consumers, urging them not to feed their pets specific lots of raw cat food and dog food produced by Arrow Reliance Inc.’s brand, Darwin’s Natural Pet Products. The agency’s move comes after samples from the affected lots tested positive for Salmonella contamination.

The FDA’s advisory was spurred by the potentially severe health implications these contaminated pet food lots can cause for both animals and humans. Salmonella infections can lead to serious illness, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and young children. Since the affected products are typically stored frozen, the FDA is particularly worried that people might still have them and unwittingly feed them to their pets.

The FDA identified the potentially hazardous products as follows:

Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe with Organic Vegetables for Dogs, Lot 9774, manufactured on June 13, 2023.
Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe for Cats, Lot 9795, manufactured on June 28, 2023.
Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Natural Selections Chicken Recipe for Cats, Lot 9830, manufactured on July 19, 2023.

Germany- Mu-err mushrooms in strips, 1 kg – Salmonella

Posted on August 21, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

LMW

Alert type: Groceries

Date of first publication: 08/18/2023

Product name:

Mu-err mushrooms in strips, 1 kg

Product images:

Manufacturer (distributor):

Distributing company Sago Foods sro Liskova 14 34401 Nemanice

Reason for warning:

Health hazard due to microbiological contamination with Salmonella spp. (Section 40 paragraph 1 sentence 1)

Packaging Unit: 1 kg

Durability: putative HSD.20 12 24

Production date: putative NSX.20 12 22

Additional Information:

Salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhoea, abdominal pain and occasionally vomiting and a slight fever. The symptoms usually subside on their own after a few days. Babies, small children, senior citizens and people with a weakened immune system in particular can develop more severe illnesses. Anyone who has eaten this food and develops severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report possible salmonella infection. It makes no sense to seek preventive medical treatment without symptoms.

There is no identification label on the packaging. There are only two imprints on the packaging, which are not clear due to the abbreviations used and the lack of explanations (to them): “NSX.20 12 22” and “HSD.20 12 24”. The goods were found in stores in boxes with the label of the company Sago Foods sro (see name of distributor).

Research – 12 Mistakes You Might Be Making When Defrosting Meat

Posted on August 15, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

The Daily Meal

Storing meat can be pretty tricky. As a perishable substance, meat doesn’t last long once you get it home from the store, and some types, like chicken pieces or ground beef, may only have a day or two in your refrigerator before they start to spoil. To take advantage of the affordability of buying meat in bulk, turn to your freezer

But handling meat — defrosted or otherwise — can be a tricky business. Meat can be a host for multiple different kinds of bacteria, including E. coli, Salmonella, and Bacillus cereus, all of which can cause food poisoning.

Foodborne Pathogen

According to a study, the Salmonella prevalence on tested foods on sale in the United Kingdom was low but highest for imported frozen chicken.

Researchers from the Quadram Institute and the University of East Anglia in England isolated Salmonella from 42 food samples.

Salmonella isolates collected from food using whole genome sequencing (WGS) were compared to isolates from humans in the UK.

Raw foods were collected at retail in Norfolk, including 311 samples each of chicken, leafy greens, and pork, 279 prawns, and 157 salmon between May 2018 and November 2019.
