EU – Europe Increases Checks on Melons after Salmonella Outbreak

Posted on December 30, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

The European Commission has tightened the rules around imports of Galia melons from Honduras because of a recent Salmonella outbreak.

Emergence of a risk to human health because of possible Salmonella Braenderup contamination means official controls are to be increased with identity and physical checks on 10 percent of consignments entering the EU beginning Jan. 6.

The multi-country outbreak of Salmonella Braenderup that affected more than 350 people was traced to Galia melons from Honduras. Four people were sick in the United States and two in Canada. The UK was the most affected but ill people were also from Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Ireland, Luxembourg and Norway.

A sample of Salmonella Braenderup that matched the outbreak strain was found on the surface of a washing tank in one of the Honduran facilities where Galia melons were packed. The harvest season started again this month.

However, authorities in Honduras said the cause cannot be confirmed to be Galia melons from the country because a case was reported in July 2021 in Denmark, and no melons from Honduras were exported at that time.

The updated regulation temporarily changes the rate of official controls and puts emergency measures on entry into the EU of certain goods from some non-EU countries. Rules are modified every six months to account for new information on risks to health and non-compliance with EU legislation.

Research – Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella enterica Serovar Heidelberg with Unidentified Source, Australia, 2018–2019

Posted on December 29, 2021 by | Leave a comment

CDC

Abstract

We report a multistate Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg outbreak in Australia during 2018–2019. Laboratory investigation of cases reported across 5 jurisdictions over a 7-month period could not identify a source of infection but detected indicators of severity and invasiveness. The hospitalization rate of 36% suggested a moderately severe clinical picture.

Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg is a frequently identified serotype among infections in humans in North America, East Africa, and Asia but is uncommon in Australia. An average of 37 cases of Salmonella Heidelberg were notified in Australia annually in 2009–2017, predominantly overseas acquired (1). Six outbreaks have been reported nationally since 1995; 1 outbreak in 1996 had >500 cases, but most have <7 cases (R. Bell, pers. comm. [email], 2020 Jun 16). We report a national outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg infection across 5 jurisdictions over 7 months.

We report a national outbreak investigation of a locally uncommon S. enterica serovar of unknown origins in Australia. Although Salmonella Heidelberg outbreaks are relatively uncommon in Australia, given this outbreak’s comparatively high hospitalization rate and the presence of saf fimbrial genes in the implicated strain, future cases warrant prompt investigation to assess severity and invasiveness. A platform for real-time exchange of sequence data in Australia and use of routine WGS for salmonellosis cases, including comparison with local and international strain data, may enable more timely detection of outbreaks.

Research – Salmonella enterica 4,[5],12:i:- an emerging threat for the swine feed and pork production industry

Posted on December 29, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Journal of Food Protection

Salmonella continues to be a significant cause of foodborne illnesses in human medicine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Salmonella as the second leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, and the leading cause of both hospitalizations and deaths. Salmonella enterica 4,[5],12:i:- (STM) is a monophasic variant of S. Typhimurium and it is an emerging threat to both human and animal health. STM was first identified in the 1980’s from poultry products and has become increasingly prevalent in meat products including pork. STM has also been identified in swine farms as well as feed manufacturing environments and feed itself. Similar pulse-field gel electrophoresis profiles have been observed between human clinical cases and the STM samples originating from swine feed. These related profiles suggest a link between swine ingesting contaminated feed and the source of foodborne illness in human. The objective of this article was to better understand the history of STM and the possible pathway between swine feed to the household table. Continued research is necessary to better understand how STM can enter both the feed supply chain and the pork production chain to avoid contamination of pork products destined for human consumption.
