FSIS
reports that Salmonella is the leading cause of bacterial foodborne illness in
the United States and causes an estimated 1.2 million illnesses, 19,000
hospitalizations and 380 deaths, each year. The data from 2014 estimates that
360,000 (30%) of foodborne illnesses are attributed to FSIS-regulated products,
which is a 9.3% decrease compared to 2010.
FSIS
conducted ednontyphoidal Salmonella serotype testing on isolates recovered from
raw meat and poultry products, subject to sampling under the Pathogen Reduction
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (PR/HACCP) verification testing
program. The results presented here provide an estimate of relative serotype
distributions for each product class during the 16-year period following
implementation of the PR/HACCP program (1998-2014). The top 10 Salmonella
serotypes identified from the testing in 2014 are listed in Table 1a. Different
types of Salmonella serotypes were found in the various types of meat and
poultry.
