Pzt, 06/28/2010 - 18:09Meat scientists have the knowledge to be at the forefront of debunking the misperceptions of the industry; now they need to develop the communications skills to do so effectively, says Gary C.

In his keynote address to a packed house at the annual Reciprocal Meat Conference in Lubbock, Texas, Smith held forth on the role of meat scientists in the 21st century.

SALMONELLOSIS, SEROTYPE CHESTER - USA: FROZEN ENTREE - (ProMed Mail.com)
Cum, 06/25/2010 - 20:11The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is collaborating with public health officials in many states, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella serotype Chester infections. Investigators are using DNA analysis of Salmonella bacteria obtained through diagnostic testing to identify cases of illness that may be part of this outbreak. As of 9:00 AM EDT on 25 Jun 2010, a total of 37 individuals infected with a matching strain of Salmonella Chester have been reported from 18 states since 11 Apr 2010. The number of ill people identified in each state with this strain is as follows: AK (1), CA (5), CO (2), GA (7), IL (1), KY (1), MA (2), MN (2), MO (1), NC (1), OK (1), OR (2), SC (2), TN (1), TX (1), UT (2), VA (4), and WA (1). Among those for whom information is available about when symptoms started, illnesses began between 5 Apr 2010 and 3 Jun 2010. Case-patients range in age from <1 to 88 years old, and the median age is 36 years. Fifty-five percent of patients are female. Among the 19 patients with available hospitalization information, 7 (37 percent) were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. During 14-18 Jun 2010, the CDC and public health officials in multiple states conducted an epidemiologic study by comparing foods eaten by 19 ill and 22 well persons. Analysis of this study suggests eating a Marie Callender's frozen meal was a source of illness. Ill persons (89 percent) were significantly more likely than well persons (14 percent) to report eating a frozen meal. All ill persons (100 percent) who ate frozen meals reported eating a Marie Callender's frozen meal. None (0 percent) of the well persons who ate a frozen meal reported eating a Marie Callender's frozen meal. There are insufficient data from this study to implicate a specific frozen meal type. However, many of the ill persons have reported eating a Marie Callender's Cheesy Chicken and & Rice frozen entree in the week before becoming ill.

Per, 06/24/2010 - 23:29WASHINGTON, June 24, 2010 - Sampco, Inc., a Chicago, Ill., establishment is recalling approximately 61,000 pounds of cooked canned and frozen beef products that may contain the animal drug Ivermectin, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today. On May 14, 2010, FSIS issued Recall News Release FSIS-RC-033-2010, a Class II recall with low health risk, which also announced the agency was taking a number of actions regarding lots of cooked beef from Brazil after the agency found that they may contain the animal drug Ivermectin. Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic and is used as a de-worming agent in live animals. FSIS routine point of entry testing had discovered samples of cooked beef product from Brazil that were produced on January 20, 2010, that exceeded the tolerance level established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Food and Drug Administration in beef muscle. While that product was not permitted entry into the U.S., FSIS subsequently determined that associated product may have entered the country separately, resulting in today's recall.
