A Salmonella database to monitor and centralize regulatory own-checks results (CE) n°2073/2005 obtained by slaughterhouses
Abstract
Salmonellosis is a major cause of foodborne outbreaks caused by bacteria in Europe. In 2014, the European Commission reinforced the survey of this contaminant in the pig industry by the competent authority. In this context, French General Directorate for Food required a new system to centralize regulatory own-checks results for Salmonella in pig carcasses. In 2014, the national pork trade association (INAPORC) has funded the development of a web application for collecting and analyzing the microbiological own checks performed by the French pig slaughterhouses. That year, among the three proposed procedures for the supervision of European regulation (EC) n°854/2004 modified by regulation (UE) n°218/2014, the French General Directorate for Food chose to collect results of regulatory own-checks (EC) n°2073/2005 performed by French pig slaughterhouses. The annual output results are transmitted to EFSA according to Directive 2003/99/EC for the monitoring of animal diseases and infections.
