The Poultry Podcast Show - #54 - Navigating pre and post-harvest poultry safety challenges

When it comes to food safety, it's crucial to understand the microorganisms that pose a potential threat. Key players include Salmonella, Campylobacter, and E. Coli. When it comes to controlling these harmful organisms, the goal is not only to develop detection methods with higher speed and specificity but also to significantly minimize their presence in poultry products. In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Dana Dittoe for a discussion about the complexities of food safety. She shared some of her vast knowledge and expertise with us, spanning from pre-harvest to post-harvest food safety in the meat industry.

What you’ll learn:

1. Meat microbiology 

2. Concerns and discussions regarding Salmonella detection

3. Current detection methods 

4. Potential further reductions and interventions related to pathogens

5. Pre-harvest strategies in the meat industry
