“…In this study, the following contamination vectors and environmental factors of Salmonella were investigated: operators, processing floor, dust in the air and rodents. In addition, with the purpose of preventing the spread of Salmonella, the effectiveness of using disinfectant baths for operator work shoes (Yokozeki 1979;Furuta et al 1993) and of disinfecting processing floor, was evaluated. Salmonella control in oilmeal production was considered from the viewpoint of both the oil and the operators in the plant.…”

Aims: The mechanisms of Salmonella contamination in an oilmeal plant were investigated and the basic data were collected in order to achieve control of Salmonella in oilmeal. Methods and Results: Salmonella was detected in all contamination vectors and environmental factors investigated, namely: operators, processing floor, dust in the air and rodents. In particular, high concentrations of Salmonella were detected on the processing floor of the manufacturing area, which has high oil content. Steam was the most effective disinfection method used for the processing floor, as the effects of heat sterilization and disinfection may work in tandem. In addition, restricting the movement of operators of the production chain remarkably reduced Salmonella contamination, even in areas of otherwise high contamination. Conclusions: Within the oilmeal plant, high Salmonella contamination rates for the processing floor represent the greatest risk of contamination of oilmeal via operators, dust in the air and rodents. Therefore, control of the processing floor is the most important means for reducing the oilmeal contamination rate. Significance and Impact of the Study: Specific Salmonella control methods for oilmeal plants have been established.
