Switzerland – Public warning: presence of Salmonella in mustard seeds and spice blends

BLV

Bern, 06.07.2021 – The Dutch authorities have informed the Federal Office for Food Safety and Veterinary Affairs (FSVO), via the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), of the presence of salmonella in a mustard seed delivery. These have been used in Switzerland in various products that the FSVO recommends not to consume, as a health risk cannot be excluded. The outlets concerned immediately removed the implicated items from their shelves and ordered a recall.

A Silver Lining of the Pandemic: Whole-Genome Sequencing and Food Safety

FAO

Zooming out and taking a broader perspective, WGS benefits are particularly visible in microbiology: WGS provides rapid identification and characterization of microorganisms with a level of precision that no tool has ever reached before. Through WGS, specific novel antibiotic targets (resistance genotypes) are being identified in the area of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)studies. It is a significant stepping-stone because more focused surveillance and more targeted diagnostics and drug development are made possible by identifying them and correlating them to the observed phenotypes. The level of detail provided by WGS makes it possible to refine case definitions precisely, which in turn allows for faster investigation of outbreak clusters, thus preventing additional cases of diseases sooner. For example, in 2014, a multinational Salmonella outbreak investigation was conducted in Europe where WGS was used to identify the root cause, and the data collected pointed to some egg farms in a specific location. While WGS was essential in the investigation, it was the international data-sharing efforts that made the investigation successful and conclusive. Another example is the outbreak investigation of Listeria linked to enoki mushrooms in Canada where the specific sequence of the Listeria strain was internationally shared, resulting in successfully tracing the multinational food safety outbreak and the rapid recall of the affected products.

India – FSSAI issues alert for Salmonella in oregano from Chile; seeks recall

FNB News

The apex food regulator of the country, FSSAI, has issued an alert on detection of salmonella in dried oregano from Chile. The FSSAI has issued a notice in this regard after receiving an alert from the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN).

The notice says, “An alert was received from the International Food Safety Authorities Network – INFOSAN with regard to detection of salmonella in Sweden in dried oregano from Chile.”

The notice added that the ‘implicated’ product was also imported into India by Keya Foods International Pvt. Ltd and has been distributed within India.

The alert was generated after a lab testing was conducted in May and June this year by an European laboratory Eurofins.

The FSSAI has also asked the state food authorities to ensure total recall of the product from the market to ensure food safety.

“With possibility of this product reaching consumers through online sales or by other means and considering the health risk which may be posed by consumption of the said product due to contamination of salmonella sp, all state food authorities are advised to take necessary action including complete recall of the product from market,” reads the notice.

Also, the FSSAI has appealed to the consumers/general public not to consume the product and return it, if purchased.

The listed batch of the product oregano in question was from Feb 2020 to April 2021.
