In this bonus episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to Elanco Poultry Account Manager Vic Fox about the components and importance of a holistic integrated Salmonella control program in modern poultry operations, and how Elanco supports poultry producers with a multidisciplinary approach.

A recent study found that Listeria monocytogenes from multispecies biofilms exhibits higher growth in ready-to-eat (RTE) cold-smoked salmon than L. monocytogenes from single-species biofilms. Additionally, L. monocytogenes contamination from the multi-species biofilm surpassed EU regulatory limits after 15 days of storage.

In France, 21 people have been sickened and two have died in a listeriosis outbreak linked to pasteurized milk cheeses produced by the Chavegrand company. Additionally, one person in Belgium has been infected with the same strain of Listeria monocytogenes.

Trustwell’s FoodLogiQ traceability platform has successfully passed the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) Capability Test, certifying FoodLogiQ as a verified “GDST-Capable Solution,” which affirms its ability to securely exchange standardized traceability data across the seafood supply chain.

To assist establishments in meeting food safety regulatory requirements, USDA-FSIS has released a new, generic Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) model for ready-to-eat (RTE) fermented, salt-cured, and dried products.

Boar’s Head is planning to reopen a production plant that was linked to a deadly, multistate listeriosis outbreak in 2024. Meanwhile, inspection reports obtained by the Associated Press show that insanitary conditions similar to those that caused the outbreak continue to plague other Boar’s Head facilities.
