Fewer Americans To Get Food Poisoning Under Proposed USDA Food
Safety Regulation (campylobacter and/or salmonella poisoning
from chicken and turkey)
-
Under
the new standards, only 7.5% of chicken carcasses at a plant
would be allowed to test positive for salmonella, down from
20% allowed since 1996.
-
The
new rules for campylobacter, which had not been regulated
before, are that companies fail if they have more than 10%
positives for "highly contaminated" carcasses and
46% for "low level" contamination. The USDA
estimates that about 50% of poultry plants are now at this
level. In 2008, an estimated 40.2% chickens tested positive
for campylobacter, which causes diarrhea, cramping, abdominal
pain and fever. The CDC estimates campylobacter infects 2.4
million Americans a year and kills 124.
-
"These
standards will have probably the greatest public impact for
consumers' health since anything USDA has adopted in the last
15 years," says Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety
director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest in
Washington, D.C.
