Cranswick has revealed that a Salmonella incident earlier this year cost the company more than £3 million ($3.6 million).
In a half-year results statement, which covers up to Sept. 24, 2022, the food producer said adjusted group operating profit was 1.7 percent lower at £68.4 million ($81.4 million).
This included a charge of £3.1 million ($3.7 million) due to costs associated with the product recall in May after Salmonella was found at the Hull cooked poultry facility in England.
In a follow-up on the food poisoning outbreak that affected hundreds of schoolchildren at the Ischool Nha Trang in Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam, health officials now report test results from the Pasteur Institute Nha Trang show pathogenic bacteria were found in the fried chicken wings of the meal, causing the outbreak which sickened students at a Ischool Nha Trang.
Specifically, Salmonella sp., Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli were detected in food samples. In addition, Bacillus cereus was also detected in fish sauce samples.
According to our previous report, some 400 students were sickened including more than 200 hospitalizations and one death was reported in a first grade student after eating a school lunch.

Israel’s top chocolate manufacturer announced on Tuesday that it is reintroducing several lines of candy to the Israeli market following a nationwide recall earlier this year due to salmonella contamination.
In a statement, the Strauss Group said that products from its Elite chocolate line, including the Parra brand, Pesek Zman and Kif Kef candy bars, would “gradually return to the shelves.” The move follows the reopening of its factory in Nof Hagalil in Israel’s north, where the salmonella was discovered. The company said that it has made “significant investments … to ensure the quality and safety of the products at the highest level.”

Efforts to eradicate salmonella enteritidis from the poultry industry are on track with no properties under restricted movement controls.
The bacteria strain was first found in an Auckland hatchery in March last year.
Since then 14 sites tested positive for the strain, about 550 thousand birds have been culled and 130 people became unwell with the bacteria.
Salmonella enteritidis can cause abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, fever, headache and vomiting in people.
New Zealand Food Safety deputy director general Vincent Arbuckle said control efforts were paying off.
Salmonella enteritidis had not been detected on farm since early September and the last case detected in a human was May, he said.
“It’s almost a textbook example of the regulator working with the poultry industry and individual farmers, what was a pretty serious outbreak in 2021. Through careful work with the industry, we believe we’ve got a well contained now.

As of November 16, 2022, a Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak (reference # 1113) has been identified in the United States with no known source as the cause of the outbreak. A total of 264 cases have been identified in connection with the outbreak, though the number of actual cases is thought to be much higher and the investigation remains ongoing. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is leading the investigation in collaboration with both federal, state, and local partners. The FDA is currently working vigilantly to find the source of the Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak and will update the public accordingly.
