WASHINGTON — The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has released a proposed determination to declare salmonella an adulterant in breaded stuffed raw chicken products when they exceed a very low level of salmonella contamination. This announcement is a significant first step that builds on FSIS’ proposed regulatory framework to reduce Salmonella infections linked to poultry products, released in October 2022, the department added.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that salmonella bacteria cause approximately 1.35 million human infections and 26,500 hospitalizations in the United States every year. Of those infections, over 23 percent are attributed. . .
