Research – Foodborne Diseases in the Edible Insect Industry in Europe—New Challenges and Old Problems

MDPI

Abstract

Insects play a key role in European agroecosystems. Insects provide important ecosystem services and make a significant contribution to the food chain, sustainable agriculture, the farm-to-fork (F2F) strategy, and the European Green Deal. Edible insects are regarded as a sustainable alternative to livestock, but their microbiological safety for consumers has not yet been fully clarified. The aim of this article is to describe the role of edible insects in the F2F approach, to discuss the latest veterinary guidelines concerning consumption of insect-based foods, and to analyze the biological, chemical, and physical hazards associated with edible insect farming and processing. Five groups of biological risk factors, ten groups of chemical risk factors, and thirteen groups of physical risks factors have been identified and divided into sub-groups. The presented risk maps can facilitate identification of potential threats, such as foodborne pathogens in various insect species and insect-based foods. Ensuring safety of insect-based foods, including effective control of foodborne diseases, will be a significant milestone on the path to maintaining a sustainable food chain in line with the F2F strategy and EU policies. Edible insects constitute a new category of farmed animals and a novel link in the food chain, but their production poses the same problems and challenges that are encountered in conventional livestock rearing and meat production.

Research – Salmonella and Eggs: Preventing and Reporting Illness

Food Poisoning News

Salmonella and Eggs: Ways to prevent illness and the importance of reporting illnesses.

Did you know that Salmonella is the most common type of bacterial food poisoning? It is commonly consumed through raw dairy products, meats, vegetables, and even fruits! But perhaps the most notorious conduit for Salmonella is eggs. Poultry, such as chickens, can carry Salmonella, and these bacteria can then be passed on to the eggs they lay. According to the CDC, “Salmonella can get on the shells of eggs when birds lay eggs or when the eggs touch bird droppings (poop) after being laid.” Obviously, this can be a problem if a person is collecting their own eggs directly from their back-yard or farm poultry. But in theory, eggs bought from grocery stores should be much safer as the eggs are washed before hitting the shelves.

But if your eggs are contaminated, how can illness be prevented?

Research – Prevention and control of microbiological hazards in fresh fruits and vegetables –Part 3: Sprouts

FAO

MICROBIOLOGICAL HAZARDS IN SPROUTS

Sprouts represent a unique food safety challenge because the proliferation of bacterial pathogens, if present, is enhanced due to the high humidity and the ideal sprouting temperature. For this reason, the Expert Committee identified foodborne bacterial pathogens of concern, including Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli(STEC), Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes and specifically focused on interventions against bacterial foodborne pathogens.

While the seed for sprouting may be contaminated with viral or parasitic pathogens, viruses and parasites do not increase in numbers during sprout production and few viral or parasitic disease outbreaks have been attributed to sprouts.
