How foster farms resolved food safety crisis.
Robert O’Connor, DVM, head veterinarian of Foster Farms provided first-hand lessons from his experience in August 2013, when Foster Farms received a call from the USDA and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that there had been 125 cases of multidrug resistant Salmonella illness in 15 states that seemed to be linked to the company’s products.
“First thing is, you get hit – broadsided. Torpedo hits the side of the ship. You have to take action.” While the company was often working with incomplete information, O’Connor reported that a number of actions were taken that sharply reduced Salmonella throughout the company’s growing and processing facilities.
1) Tightening up on production site bio security.
2) Insistence on deliveries only of Salmonella-negative replacement birds.
3) Installation of plastic sheeting in the house so pullets could not access old litter.
4) changing the Salmonella vaccine to one that protected specifically against Heidelberg.
5) vaccinating broilers (in addition to pullets and layers).6) Adding probiotics to the feed.
7) Installing an additional washing step for parts in the processing plant.
8) The complete depopulation and subsequent cleaning and disinfection of some poultry houses. more
