Germany – Madras Spicy Curry Powder -Salmonella

Posted on July 7, 2022 by KSW | Leave a comment

LMW

Alert type: Food

Date of first publication: 06.07.2022

Product name:

Madras Spicy Curry Powder

Product images:

Manufacturer (distributor): Wholesalers in the Netherlands The product was distributed in Germany through numerous retailers.

Reason for warning:

Detection of Salmonella

Packaging Unit: 100 g

Durability: Best before 06/30/2023

Lot identification: Article number :4519

Further information:

Due to the detection of salmonella during an official inspection in Finland, the public there was informed about the detection of salmonella in the batch. The wholesaler in the Netherlands has now determined the distribution channels for this batch and informed the retailers it supplies about the Salmonella detection. According to the information from the Netherlands, numerous, especially smaller retail shops in almost all federal states were supplied directly from the Netherlands.

The detected Salmonella ( S. bareilly) can trigger an illness.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhea, abdominal pain and occasional 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

Research – Is Our Ground Meat Safe to Eat?

Posted on July 4, 2022 by KSW | Leave a comment

Consumer Reports

Americans love meat—especially ground meat.

We shape it into burgers, meatballs, and meatloaf; stir it into chili and pasta sauce; and stuff it into peppers, lasagna, and tacos. Americans like it so much that in 2021 alone, we purchased more than $13 billion worth of ground beef, turkey, pork, and chicken.

But our love of ground meat comes at a price: It’s a leading cause of food poisoning. Since 2018, 11 outbreaks of illness have been traced back to raw meat, sickening a reported 1,264 people—and at least eight of them involved ground meat, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

To assess the current state of the nation’s ground meat supply, Consumer Reports recently tested 351 packages of ground beef, pork, chicken, and turkey purchased at stores throughout the country. (Read more about how we tested (PDF).) What we found was alarming.

Almost a third of the ground chicken packages we tested contained salmonella. We also found those bacteria in a few samples of ground beef, pork, and turkey. Particularly worrisome: Every single strain of salmonella was resistant to at least one antibiotic (see “Why Superbugs Are in Your Meat,” below).

CR also found a strain of E. coli in a sample of ground beef that is so dangerous that we immediately alerted the Department of Agriculture to our findings, triggering a recall of more than 28,000 pounds of the meat from major grocery chains in seven Western states.
