The number of human salmonellosis within the European Union tended to increase since 2013. One of the reasons might be Salmonella Enteritidis rising in laying hens flocks by around 17% in 2015 vs 2014 and by 57% in 2016 vs 2015. The most important sources of food-borne Salmonella outbreaks are still eggs and egg products as well as ready-to-eat foods having a long shelf life. Specific actions are suggested to restart decreasing the number of human salmonellosis: (1) revision of sampling schemes to solve pathogen under detection in both animals and foods; (2) integration of microbiological criteria with fit for purpose performance objectives and food safety objectives; and (3) improvement of epidemiological investigations of human, food, and animal isolates by using whole-genome sequencing in order to effectively track salmonellosis and verify which prevention measures are most effective.

Abstract

The number of human salmonellosis within the European Union tended to increase since 2013. One of the reasons might be Salmonella Enteritidis rising in laying hens flocks by around 17% in 2015 vs 2014 and by 57% in 2016 vs 2015. The most important sources of food-borne Salmonella outbreaks are still eggs and egg products as well as ready-to-eat foods having a long shelf life. Specific actions are suggested to restart decreasing the number of human salmonellosis: (1) revision of sampling schemes to solve pathogen under detection in both animals and foods; (2) integration of microbiological criteria with fit for purpose performance objectives and food safety objectives; and (3) improvement of epidemiological investigations of human, food, and animal isolates by using whole-genome sequencing in order to effectively track salmonellosis and verify which prevention measures are most effective.
