“…In our analysis above, we have made use of the assumption that flock prevalence is a useful indicator of carcass prevalence, which is supported by EFSA analysis (EFSA, 2011b). Indeed, this assumption is supported by EC Regulation 2073/2005, which states "The sampling frequency may be further reduced if the national or regional salmonella control programme demonstrates that the salmonella prevalence is low in animals purchased by the slaughterhouse."…”

“…Therefore, we set a more practical target that the PHC limit should not be breached in 95% of weeks. That is, an FBO has a tolerance where the PHC limit can be breached around one in every 20 weeks (a similar assumption was used in previous research by EFSA [EFSA, 2011b]). Despite an exhaustive literature review, we could not identify a reliable figure for the sensitivity of the prescribed MC sampling test.…”

“…In this case, we have assumed a sensitivity of 0.5, giving a working PO of 3.6%. already known by EFSA and the EC (EFSA, 2011b(EFSA, , 2017. Given the variability in the results of MC sampling, it is hard to see how MC sampling can be used to monitor trends in any meaningful way.…”

To Sample or Not to Sample? An Analysis of the Need for Salmonella Sampling of Smaller Poultry Processors

Within the European Union (EU), microbiological criteria (MC) sampling for Salmonella in poultry was introduced in 2005. In particular, processors had to meet a target of fewer than seven positive samples out of 50. However, processors producing small amounts of poultry meat did not have to sample if national authorities determined this was an acceptable risk. The U.K. Food Standards Agency (FSA) thus has a sampling regime based on throughput that allows smaller processors not to sample. In 2011, the limit of 7/50 was reduced to 5/50. Given the current uncertainty regarding U.K. trade relations with the EU, the U.K. FSA decided to conduct a new risk assessment of the risks of Salmonella produced by smaller processors, to determine whether sampling was now necessary. Current evidence suggests that an MC sampling regime in smaller slaughterhouses is not warranted from a national public health perspective. Because of the insensitivities of the MC sampling scheme, the introduction of MC sampling into smaller slaughterhouses would only be necessary if the suspected carcass prevalence was 15% or more. While our analysis is prone to uncertainty, we estimated that the carcass prevalence in smaller processors is below this. Thus, we recommended that the current sampling framework, allowing smaller processors not to sample, was still applicable.

Levucell SB ® is a feed additive consisting of viable cells of a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae currently authorised as a zootechnical additive for piglets and sows. The applicant is now seeking authorisation as a zootechnical additive (other zootechnical additive) for use with chickens for fattening and minor poultry species. The EFSA FEEDAP Panel in a previous opinion concluded that the additive fulfilled the requirements for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach to safety assessment and thus could be presumed safe for the target species, consumers and the environment. Since the additive which is the subject of the present application has the same formulations as that considered previously, following the QPS approach, the same conclusions on target animal consumer and environmental safety apply when used with poultry. The use of the additive with diets for the new target species is considered unlikely to introduce hazards for users of the product not already considered in the previous assessment. When used with poultry feed, the additive is intended to aid the reduction of carcass contamination with enteropathogens and so improve the quality of poultry products. Five studies were submitted with chickens fed diets with or without the additive and then (in four studies) artificially challenged with Salmonella. The fifth study relied on the natural incidence of Salmonella. The prevalence of Salmonella contamination was estimated by examining the carcass directly and/or by detection in caecal, cloacal or faecal samples. Considering overall the results of the five studies, there is evidence that the addition of Levucell SB ® to diets at a dose of 2 9 10 10 CFU/kg feed can aid the reduction of carcass contamination with Salmonella spp.. This conclusion can be extrapolated to minor avian species for fattening when used at the same dose, but not to minor poultry species for laying.
