Food Safety News Two recent Salmonella outbreaks have hit Spain. One in Badajoz sickened 25 people, of which five needed hospital treatment. Another in Madrid affected 16 people and was linked to a sauce made using eggs at a burger restaurant. Salmonella enterica is one of the leading causes of foodborne infections, and until 2005 it was the most common food-borne pathogen in the European Union (EU). However, the implementation of control measures has reduced the burden of salmonellosis resulting in a reduction in the number of human Salmonella cases by almost 50% over five years (2004–2009) with a concomitant, significant fall in the prevalence of Salmonella in poultry. Despite these efforts, 94 million cases of gastroenteritis occur worldwide every year with 155,000 deaths being attributed to the genus Salmonella of which Enteritidis followed by Typhimurium are the most prevalent serovars. In terms of economic burden and according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) it has been estimated that the overall cost of human salmonellosis for the EU may be of up to 3 billion euros per year. #salmonella #foodpoisoning #foodsafetyincident #foodsafety #publichealth
