Eggs and salmonella food-poisoning: an evaluation

Abstract: Summary. Evidence on the extent of the part played by infected hens' eggs in causing salmonella food-poisoning is inconclusive. The role of freshly cooked shell eggs is currently much exaggerated. Prevention should be sought through improved catering practices and kitchen hygiene, and attempts to eradicate salmonellas from laying flocks are likely to be ineffective.

“…Various serotypes of Salmonella are implicated in food-borne infections. In particular, after the 1980s, the serotype Enteritidis has caused infection via contaminated eggs in many countries (2,12,21,23). Hens infected with serotype Enteritidis produce eggs whose contents are contaminated with the microorganism (1,20).…”

“…Survival of salmanella in poultry houses and reinfection of new, salmonella-free stock has been associated with wild mice and birds and human carriers (Duguid & North, 1991). On the farms investigated, S. typhimurium was not eliminated until eradication of the beetle Alphitobius diaperinus was complete.…”

“…At the farm, the infection can be introduced by one-day-old chickens, feed, personnel, wild birds, rodents or it can persist in the environment and reinfect new, salmonella-free chickens. In spite of intensive cleaning and disinfection, it is very difficult to eliminate salmonella bacteria from an infected farm (Duguid & North, 1991).…”

“…infection was reported in one of 10,000 eggs, and Salmonella spp. infection was identified in one of 15,000 eggs in the United Kingdom (Duguid and North, 1991). In the United Kingdom, where an average person eats three raw eggs per week, 1 in 100 people was found to be infected with Salmonella and suffer from food poisoning every year (Duguid and North, 1991).…”
