Looming regulatory guidance regarding on Salmonella has drawn criticism from the poultry industry.
“In October, USDA proposed a new regulatory framework for controlling Salmonella in poultry, which includes more rigorous monitoring of the microbial condition of poultry carcasses during processing, as well as new final product testing standards,” said Rob Ames, business development manager for Corbion. “This, along with looming performance standards for in-tact and comminuted pork, means that surface treatments, like all food safety tools, will need to bring more performance to a challenged industry.”
