The Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) Food Safety Laboratory has developed the Salmonella Serovar Wiki—a web resource for global food safety professionals to rapidly access information about a given Salmonella serovar.

This episode of Food Safety Five discusses a UK proposed ban on Bisphenol A (BPA) in food contact materials, as well as two studies with global relevance: a successful clinical trial for a novel Salmonella vaccine and research demonstrating how nanoplastics enter the edible parts of crops.

A 2024 European foodborne illness outbreak caused by a rare Salmonella serotype, linked to leafy greens grown near a buffalo farm, exposed gaps in biosecurity, surveillance, and data transparency across the agri-food system.

A new study assessed the efficacy of a commercial lytic bacteriophage cocktail as a preharvest agricultural water treatment against Salmonella Infantis, and found modest but consistent pathogen reductions across diverse water conditions.

An aim of FDA's Coordinated Outbreak Response, Evaluation, and Emergency Preparedness Office (CORE+EP) is to share the findings of foodborne illness outbreak investigations, highlighting relevant topics such as the importance of global partnerships in farm investigations and the benefits of historical environmental surveillance for future outbreak investigations. 

The Trivalent Salmonella Conjugate Vaccine (TSCV), which simultaneously addresses typhoid fever and foodborne illness caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica, elicited strong immune response in 100 percent of participants in the randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. 

A CDC analysis of multistate foodborne illness outbreak investigation data for 2023 reveals the foods and pathogens that caused the greatest number of outbreaks and illnesses. A single salmonellosis outbreak linked to cantaloupe accounted for 407 illnesses.

A Center for Produce Safety (CPS) -funded study is investigating how different aspects of bulb onion production influence Salmonella and Escherichia coli risk, filling knowledge gaps about short- and intermediate-day varieties.

More than 300 patients infected by the outbreak strain of Salmonella Strathcona have been identified in 19 EU/EEA countries, the UK, the U.S., and Canada. Tomatoes from Italy are the vehicle of infection.

Penn State researchers have demonstrated the potential for Salmonella Dublin to spread among cattle, the environment, and people—necessitating a “One Health” response. Based on their analysis, rising antibiotic resistance is also a concern.
