Salmonella continues to represent one of the most persistent and multifaceted challenges in food safety, especially within meat production and processing systems.
Despite decades of advancements in hygienic design, intervention technologies and microbial monitoring, this pathogen remains the leading cause of bacterial foodborne illness. While prevalence in raw products has declined significantly, these reductions have not corresponded with proportional decreases in human illness.
Learn how modern molecular technologies such as whole genome sequencing, metagenomics and deep serotyping are allowing researchers and processors to examine Salmonella at a level of precision not possible a decade ago here.
