23-Apr-2009 (17 years 1 months 16 days ago)The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) has launched its plan to reduce the incidence of Salmonella in food. There are 1,274 cases reported to public health units a year, or 30.2 cases for every 100,000 New Zealanders.
NZFSA’s Salmonella risk management strategy spells out a specific programme of work aimed at reducing the incidence of foodborne salmonellosis.
Some studies of Salmonella in the food chain have been completed but there are many gaps in this knowledge, she says. Further research is needed to determine the incidence of foodborne salmonellosis from specific food types such as animal products, plant products, domestically produced and imported foods as well as wildlife reservoirs.
