New Zealand - Survey to look at antibiotic resistant bacteria
08-Oct-2009 (16 years 8 months ago)
The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) has embarked on a new project as part of efforts to keep down levels of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the human food chain.
To address this gap, NZFSA has commissioned a baseline survey of antimicrobial resistance in the New Zealand food chain. It doesn’t look at all food animal species, but focuses on freshly dressed carcasses of calves, pigs and broiler poultry in New Zealand abattoirs and processing plants.
