Recall from E. coli O26 illnesses reignites non-O157 debate - (Meatingplace.com)
İSUFS - Çrş, 09/01/2010 - 17:11
Cargills weekend recall of 8,500 pounds of ground beef over concerns about a connection between E. coli O26 and three illnesses in two states was the first recall directly relating a beef product to illnesses traced to a non-O157:H7 STEC, reigniting the debate over testing for and regulating these pathogens. Less than two weeks ago the American Meat Institute sent a letter to Agriculture Tom Vilsack opposing declaring these pathogens adulterants, pointing out, among other things, that no reported outbreak in the United States had been directly linked to beef products. That is no longer the case. (See AMI opposes making non-O157:H7 STECS adulterants on Meatingplace, Aug. 18, 2010.) By Monday afternoon Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), chairwoman of the FDA and Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, pointed to Cargills weekend recall as justification for her E. coli Traceability and Eradication Act, which would require USDA to regulate all strains of toxin-producing E. coli.

Infrared test finds E. coli faster - (Meatingplace.com)
İSUFS - Çrş, 09/01/2010 - 17:04
Infrared spectroscopy can drastically cut the time it takes to detect E. coli in ground beef, scientists at Perdue University concluded in a study published in the August issue of the Journal of Food Science. Lisa Mauer, an associate professor of food science, detected E. coli in ground beef in one hour using infrared spectroscopy, whereas conventional plating takes 48 hours. The spectroscopy method also can differentiate between strains of E. coli 0157:H7, allowing for more effective and quicker tracking of outbreaks. Current tests involve multiple steps and can take a week to get results. For the complete news item, please go to http://www.meatingplace.com/MembersOnly/webNews/details.aspx?item=18240

The Basics - - Salmonella enteriditis and eggs - (Meatingplace.com)
İSUFS - Sal, 08/31/2010 - 17:38
If you are involved with poultry you have probably been asked about Salmonella and eggs at some point during the last few weeks. The recent incidence with Salmonella enteriditis and eggs has put un-necessary fear into many people. So, in case you need some basic information to answer questions, here it is Salmonella is a genus of bacteria that commonly live in the intestinal tract of animals and humans. There are over 2,000 types but only a very few can cause human illness. Salmonella enteriiditis is one of those very few human pathogens. It is most commonly associated with illness outbreaks from consuming contaminated shell eggs or egg products that have not been properly cooked. Eggs can become contaminated in multiple ways. For table eggs, the most common mode of contamination is on the shell. Unlike other organisms, Salmonella enteriditis can penetrate the shell and enter the egg. The other route is from a hen with an infected ovary. When this happens the eggs have the organism in them when they are laid.
