USA – Baked Goods linked to Salmonella Outbreak in Ohio

Posted on October 12, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Food Poison Journal

Allen County Public Health (ACPH) is investigating a potential Salmonella outbreak affecting Allen, Putnam and Hancock counties. ACPH was notified by Hancock County regarding a multi-county Salmonella outbreak with illness onsets currently ranging from Oct. 1-6, 2022. As of Monday, Allen County had one confirmed case. Chances of other counties being affected is possible.

Undercooked food is the source for most illnesses related to Salmonella. This particular outbreak may be linked to baked goods prepared at a home bakery and distributed at establishments in Allen, Hancock and Putnam Counties. Diagnosing Salmonella infection requires testing a specimen (sample), such as stool (poop) or blood. Infection is diagnosed when a laboratory test detects Salmonella bacteria in stool, body tissue, or fluids.

Research – Efficacy of Repeated Applications of Bacteriophages on Salmonella enterica-Infected Alfalfa Sprouts during Germination

Posted on October 8, 2022 by | Leave a comment

MDPI

Nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica is one of the leading pathogens for foodborne outbreaks in a multitude of food commodities, including alfalfa sprouts, which are commonly consumed raw. The food industry has commonly used chlorinated washes, but such methods may not be perceived as natural; this can be a detriment as a large portion of sprouts are designated for the organic market. A natural and affordable antimicrobial method that has been acquiring popularity is the use of bacteriophages. This study compared the efficacy of repeated daily applications and a single application of two separate bacteriophage cocktails (SE14, SE20, SF6 and SE14, SF5, SF6) against four Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) strains on germinating alfalfa sprout seeds from days 0 to 7. The results show S. Enteritidis to be the most susceptible to both cocktails with ~2.5 log CFU/mL decrease on day 0 with cocktail SE14, SF5, and SF6. S. enterica populations on all strains continued to grow even with repeated daily bacteriophage applications but in a significantly decreased rate (p < 0.05) compared with a single bacteriophage application. The extent of the reduction was dependent on the S. enterica strain, but the results do show benefits to using repeated bacteriophage applications during sprout germination to reduce S. enterica populations compared with a single bacteriophage application.

Serbia – Lidl withdraws certain brand of waflles from its shelves as a precautionary measure- Salmonella

Posted on October 7, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Serbian Monitor

Lidl in Serbia has informed consumers that, as a precautionary measure, it has withdrawn from sale the products of Pak Rampart (from Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina).

The Lidl Company is urging shoppers not to consume them, but rather to return them (there is no need to show the receipt) and they will be reimbursed for the money spent.

The following wafers were withdrawn:

Cocoa-flavoured wafers – a product with 72% cocoa filling, 800g pack,

Hazelnut-flavoured wafers – a product with 72% hazelnut-flavoured filling, 800g pack,

Waffle with cocoa filling – produced with 80% cocoa filling, 200-gram pack,

Waffle with hazelnut-flavoured filling – produced with 80% hazelnut-flavoured filling, 200-gram pack

Waffle with cocoa topping – the product with 57% cocoa filling, coated with 20% cocoa topping, 200-gram pack.

“The products were withdrawn due to the possibility of the presence of Salmonella Typhimurium bacteria, as regular checks in Croatia determined its presence in two production batches,” announced Lidl.

Samples of products from the shelves in Serbia were, as mentioned, sent to local laboratories for thorough testing, and the relevant institutions were also informed.

The retailer and the manufacturer have apologised to all consumers who bought the mentioned products for the inconvenience.

Research – Salmonella rising in British raw meat pet food

Posted on October 7, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Pet Food Industry

The occurrence of Salmonella in raw pet food seems to be rising in Great Britain. Raw meat pet food had the highest number of Salmonella contaminated samples of all the feeds tested by the UK’s Animal and Plant Health Agency scientists. The agency report “Salmonella in Animals and Feed in Great Britain 2021” documented an upward trend.

In 2021, the agency’s laboratories isolated 295 instances of Salmonella from raw pet food available on the British market. That’s up 8.1% from 2020’s 273 isolations, and 20.4% higher than 2019 with 245 isolations.

Some of these Salmonella bacteria were from strains with resistance to drugs used to fight infection. These potentially dangerous pathogens were found in 71 of the samples taken in 2021. These made up 57.3% of the total regulated varieties of Salmonella found by the Animal and Plant Health Agency in 2021 among all feeds and locations tested. The proportion of drug-resistant Salmonella in British raw meat pet food didn’t increase much over 2020, but did show an upward tendency compared to 2019.

“Contaminated raw meat pet food, which does not undergo any heat treatment to deactivate pathogens, may therefore represent a potential source of infection to both the dogs consuming it and people who handle it, especially if insufficient hygiene measures are adopted,” the report authors wrote.
