Synopsis (short abstract) Nontyphoidal Salmonella spp. are estimated to cause 93.8 million cases of acute gastroenteritis and 155,000 deaths globally each year, approximately 85% of which are estimated to be foodborne, thus having a significant public health and economic impact on society. Pork products are among the top food-borne sources of Salmonella globally. While beef products have been implicated in several large outbreaks in recent years. Contamination of beef and pork with Salmonella can also negatively impact t he agri-food and trade sectors due to costly recalls of products and by limiting market access. In order to support the development of Codex “Guidelines for the Control of Nontyphoidal Salmonella spp. in Beef and Pork Meat”, FAO and WHO conducted a systematic review on the efficacy of all possible interventions from primary production to the end of processing to control Salmonella in pork and beef. Data was also sought directly from Member countries. All this information was then considere d by the expert meeting which was convened on 28 September to 2 October 2015 at FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy. this meeting provided recommendations on potential control measures for the control of Salmonella in beef and pork, and where possible their efficacy, based on the available scinetific evidence to support the development of science based international guidance in this area. The outcome will be used by the Codex Alimentarius, the OIE and Member countries when addressing the problems pos ed by Salmonella in the beef and pork chains.

    Measures for the control of non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. in poultry meat

    In response to a request from the 52nd Session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH), the FAO/WHO Joint Expert Meetings on Microbiological Risk Assessment (JEMRA) convened this meeting, to collate and assess the most recent scientific information relating to the control of non-typhoidal (NT)-Salmonella spp. in chicken meat. The assessment included a review of the Codex Guidelines for the Control of Campylobacter and Salmonella in Chicken Meat (CXG 78-2011). The Campylobacter will be reviewd by another meeting. The expert consultation noted that no single control measure was sufficiently effective in reducing either the prevalence or the level of contamination of broilers and poultry meat with NT-Salmonella spp. Instead, it was emphasized that control strategies based on multiple intervention steps would have the greatest impact on controlling NT-Salmonella spp. in the broiler production chain. This report describes the output of this expert meeting and the advice herein is useful for both risk assessors and risk managers, at national and international levels and those in the food industry working to control the hazard in poultry.

    Risk assessments of Salmonella in eggs and broiler chickens (MRA) 2 2002
    Also available in:
    This volume contains monographs on risk assessment of Salmonella in eggs and broiler chickens that have been prepared and reviewed by an international team of scientists. During their preparation input was received from several international fora including expert consultations and Codex Alimentarius committee meetings as well as via public and peer review. The monographs in this volume comprise data and methodology relevant to the four steps of risk assessment - hazard identification, ex posure assessment, hazard characterization and risk characterization - of Salmonella in eggs and broiler chickens. They include information on the efficacy of some of the possible risk management options for controlling these pathogens in eggs and broiler chickens. This volume and others in the Microbiological Risk Assessment series contain information that is useful to risk managers such as the Codex Alimentarius, governments and food regulatory agencies, scientists, food producers and in dustries and other people or institutions working in the area of microbiological hazards in foods, their impact on human health and food trade and their control.
