Research – USDA Finalizes Policy to Protect Consumers from Salmonella in Raw Breaded Stuffed Chicken Products

Posted on April 29, 2024 by | Leave a comment

FSIS USDA

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) today announced its final determination to declare Salmonella an adulterant in raw breaded stuffed chicken products when they exceed a specific threshold (1 colony forming unit (CFU) per gram or higher) for Salmonella contamination.

This final determination is part of FSIS’ broader efforts to reduce Salmonella illnesses associated with the raw poultry supply in the United States. FSIS intends to address Salmonella contamination in other raw poultry products later this year.

Research – Impact of food residue on recovery of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium from stainless steel surface

Abstract

This study evaluated the impact of different food residues on the recovery of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium from stainless steel surfaces. Food residues tested include lettuce rinsate, blended lettuce, low-fat milk, and whole milk for Listeria monocytogenes, and powdered infant formula, all-purpose flour, and whole milk dairy powder for Salmonella Typhimurium. Bacterial suspensions were inoculated on stainless steel surfaces with or without food residues and held for different time periods. Significant differences (P < 0.0001) in Salmonella Typhimurium recovery were observed between the no food residue control and all food residues over 24 hours. For Listeria monocytogenes, minimal variability in recovery was observed among food residue types, with significant differences from the no food residue control (P < 0.05) observed after 24 hours. The study also found that surface sampling can spread Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium on stainless steel surfaces, suggesting that food residue type may affect microbial recovery during environmental monitoring.

Posted on April 25, 2024 by | Leave a comment

SSI

During March and April 2024, the Statens Serum Institut registered 26 cases of Salmonella Typhimurium. The Statens Serum Institut, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and the Norwegian Food Institute DTU are investigating the disease outbreak.

In March and April 2024, 26 people were registered at the Statens Serum Institut who were infected with the same type of Salmonella (figure 1). Among the sick are 15 men and 11 women. The patients are between 0-80 years old (median age is 31 years). The patients live all over the country.
