Research – Microbial load and Prevalence of Escherichia coli, and Salmonella spp. in Macadamia Nut Production Systems
This study evaluated the potential impact of environmental factors and harvesting practices on microbial load of macadamia nuts. Three farms located in the main macadamia nut production regions including Mbombela (A), Barberton (B) and White River (C) areas in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa were sampled over a ,rtwo-year period. A total of 264, irrigation water (54), soil (30) and macadamia nut (180) samples were collected and evaluated for microbial concentrations. All water samples had mean E. coli counts below 1000 CFU/100ml which is the standard regulatory requirement for agricultural water considered fit-for-purpose for irrigation of nut trees in south Africa. Mean total aerobic plate counts of on-tree nut-in-husk samples (3.91 log CFU/g; n=60) increased after harvesting (5.98 log CFU/g; n=60) but decreased with dehusking to 4.89 log CFU/g (n=60) on nut-in-shell. Salmonella spp. were only detected in water samples from two farm B (67 %; n=18) and C(15 %; n=18). However, neither Listeria monocytogenes nor Salmonella spp. were detected in any of the soil samples. Escherichia coli were only detected in 20 % (n=10) of soil samples collected from two farms (A and B). None of the E. coli isolated in this study were positive for the eae, stx 1, and stx 2, enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), virulence genes. Information from this study provides basic data that can be used in the development of macadamia nut specific hazard assessment tools within primary production environments.
Bermuda- Ministry: Waitrose Frozen Seafood Recall – Salmonella
The Ministry of Health issued an advisory about a recall of Waitrose frozen seafood sold exclusively at The Supermart on Front Street as the “product may be contaminated with salmonella.”
A spokesperson said, “The Ministry of Health is advising the public about a recall of Waitrose frozen seafood, sold exclusively at The Supermart on Front Street. This is a voluntary recall because the product may be contaminated with salmonella, which could cause illness if consumed. Symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
“Product details: Waitrose & Partners Essential Frozen Seafood Selection, [King prawns, mussels and squid rings] [Frozen] – 250g. All ‘best before’ dates up to and including end January 2022.
“The product was shipped to Bermuda and sold between September to December 2020. An additional two cases of the product came in January. None of the January shipment was sold, and they have all been taken off the shelf.
“If consumers have purchased any of the product indicated above, they should return it to the Supermart for a full refund or exchange.”
Antigua – Recalled frozen seafood found on shelves in Antigua – Salmonella
The Prices and Consumer Affairs Division is alerting the public that one brand of the chilled and frozen seafood products that are currently being recalled have been found on shelves in Antigua and Barbuda.
The Food Standards Agency in the UK has announced the recall of Waitrose & Partners Essential Frozen Seafood Selection, (King prawns, mussels and squid rings) (Frozen) 250g all dates up to and including end January 2022, and Waitrose & Partners Essential Cooked Seafood Selection, (Mussels, king prawns and squid) (Chilled) 200g all use by dates from 20 December 2020 to 20 January 2021.
According to the FSA, the seafood products are being recalled because they might be contaminated with salmonella.
France – Product recall: U-brand 600g pepper trio – Salmonella
ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM
Presence of salmonella
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Those in possession of this product are asked not to consume it and to return it to the point of sale where it was purchased for reimbursement.
Foodborne illnesses caused by salmonella result in gastrointestinal disturbances, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain, often accompanied by fever; these symptoms may be more severe in young children, immunocompromised individuals and the elderly. The incubation period can range from 6 to 72 hours.
People who have consumed the products mentioned below and who have these symptoms are invited to consult their doctor, notifying him of this consumption.

Research – Salmonella Infection in Nursery Piglets and Its Role in the Spread of Salmonellosis to Further Production Periods
Few studies have focused on assessing Salmonella infection in the nursery and its role in further pig production periods. Mesenteric lymph nodes, intestinal content, and meat juice from 389 6-week-old male piglets intended for human consumption from five breeding farms and 191 pooled floor fecal samples from gilt development units (GDU) from the same farms were analyzed to estimate and characterize (by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and antimicrobial resistance analyses) Salmonella infection. The prevalence of infection and shedding among piglets was 36.5% and 37.3%, respectively, shedding being significantly associated with infection (Odds Ratio = 12.7; CI 7.3–22.0). Salmonella Rissen; S. 4,[5],12:i:-; and S. Derby were the most common serotypes. A low level of Salmonella-specific maternal antibodies at the beginning of the nursery period suggested it was a period of high risk of infection. Resistance to 3rd- and 4th-generation cephalosporins was detected in piglet isolates although the piglets never received antibiotics, indicating they could be vectors of antimicrobial resistance. The same Salmonella clones were detected in piglet and GDU isolates, suggesting that infected piglets play a significant role in the infection of gilts and consequently of finishing pigs in the case of production farms. The control of Salmonella infection in nursery piglets may decrease the risk of abattoir and carcass contamination.
Research – Control of Salmonella and Pathogenic E. coli Contamination of Animal Feed Using Alternatives to Formaldehyde-Based Treatments
This study compared a novel non-formaldehyde combination product developed for pathogen control in animal feed Finio (A), with a panel of three commonly used organic acid feed additive products: Fysal (B), SalCURB K2 (C) and Salgard (D). Products were evaluated for their ability to reduce Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli in poultry feed. A commercial layer-hen mash was treated with each product and then mixed with feed previously contaminated (via inoculated meat and bone meal) with either Salmonella or E. coli. After 24 hours at room temperature, 10 replicate samples were taken from each preparation and plate counts were performed using a selective agar. All concentrations of product A (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kg per metric tonne (MT)) plus the higher concentration of products B and D (6.0 kg MT−1) significantly reduced Salmonella counts compared with those in the untreated control group (p < 0.05). Product C did not significantly reduce levels of Salmonella under these conditions. Because of the poor recovery of E. coli, statistical comparisons for this organism were limited in scope, but only product A at the highest concentration appeared to have eliminated it.
