Salmonella prevalence in poultry varies greatly in emerging markets

摘要

Salmonella on raw chicken meat at the retail level varied greatly among emerging poultry market countries in this analysis. Globalization of the food supply can impact food safety from both a public health and international trade perspective, but insufficient data exist to develop internationally recognized standards. The presence of Salmonella on poultry is an important factor in protecting public health and facilitating trade. The Codex Alimentarius Commission was established by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization in 1963 to develop harmonized international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to protect the health of the consumers and ensure fair trade practices in the food trade. Codex Alimentariusstandards are established based on risk analysis of scientific food safety data that are available internationally.
