But can they be usefully implemented? A number of vaccine technologies have demonstrated a significant impact in reducing levels of E. coli 0157 and Salmonella bacteria detected in bovine feces pre-harvest, said Guy Loneragan, PhD, professor of food safety and public health at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, who presented the opening address at the meeting. For example, Epitopix/Pfizer Animal Health's SRP vaccine has shown a 40% to 60% reduction in Salmonella levels in feces in various commercial studies--and even more in so-called "high shedders".

A team led by Cornell food science professor Martin Wiedmann, DVM, PhD, sequenced the genome of 47 samples of Salmonella--20 that had been collected from human sources during the Salmonella Montevideo outbreak linked to salami made with contaminated pepper in 2009 and 2010, and 27 control samples collected before the outbreak. The genome-sequencing approach quickly isolated four samples thought to be connected to the contaminated pepper.

Exploding watermelons. These recent oddities from China might seem comical were it not for the country's abysmal food safety record, which includes deaths and illnesses caused by melamine-laced baby formula, Salmonella-tainted seafood, and clenbuterol-treated pork. China's sprawling system of food production is largely unregulated, operating in a Wild West environment in which the drive for productivity and profit outweighs adherence to even the most basic safety and sanitary measures, according to Western experts and senior Chinese officials.

These remain a frontier without meaningful, measureable, and manageable standards. Operators are often content for hand hygiene to be covered in their FDA-promulgated good manufacturing practices, seeing little need for specific standards to drive enhanced hand hygiene. The FDA's Model Food Code has been unable to provide guidance for a situation in which behavioral science is key to compliance. Codes and operational standards work best for physical measurements like temperature control or chemical factors such as pH. Logs can be easily maintained and monitored. Solving hand washing issues in the food industry is not about knowledge, training, products, or equipment. It is all about linking best practices in a structured, sustainable solution.

( http://dmmsclick.wiley.com/click.asp?p=3D= 6609938= &m=3D50590&u=3D1277742 ) Consumer confidence had been shaken the world over, following a series of high-profile food safety incidents. This along with the increasing regulatory and retailer requirements has created a need for producers to re-evaluate their food safety procedures and have a strong, HACCP-based plan in place to prevent food contamination issues.

Once contamination is detected, however, actions must be taken and might include a product recall. Because of the potentially catastrophic consequences, many facilities are improving their contamination prevention activities. More washdowns and surface cleanings can help, but only a gaseous decontamination can really get into all the tight locations in a facility such as an egg-processing plant, meat-packing plant, or produce-handling facility, allowing for a complete kill of any contaminating pathogens.
