Good to know. I was assuming northeast and this is much closer
Saintly.
Why just dont take better care of chickens in the first place?
(We all know there is enough profit to allow that & much more.)Bcs your laws says you don’t have to?
I remember how much political pressure there was on EU to lower our standards & allow poultry imports from USA on the cheap.
This has nothing to do with how chickens are taken care of. Salmonella naturally occurs in chickens and is totally harmless to them. In the US, we wash our eggs, which eliminates the salmonella but requires the eggs be refrigerated for storage. In most of the EU, eggs are unwashed, but the chickens are vaccinated against salmonella. Washed eggs can be refrigerated and stored for almost 2 months, where unwashed eggs last about 3 weeks.
Plenty salmonella outbreaks related to eggs still happen in the EU also.
I was curious, it seems we have a prevalence goal of about 2% (which is achieved/maintained, but a bit less than two decades ago something changed & caused a spike). US follows the cases reported via health organisations and the human results are about the same.
From 1 January 2008, all Member States with Salmonella prevalence above 10% will have to vaccinate their laying hens against Salmonella, in order to reduce the spread of the disease and the contamination of eggs. The vaccinations used must be authorised at EU level, and must be distinguishable from the field bacteria during sampling and testing. National authorities may exempt a holding from this vaccination requirement provided satisfactory preventive measures are being applied or there has been no incidence of Salmonella on the holding over the previous 12 months.
You know over here in Europe we don’t have to refrigerate egg or wash slaughtered chicken in a chlorine bath. We use something called a vaccine that prevents salmonella in the first place
Bro, there are hundreds of egg-related salmonella outbreaks across Europe every year.
Yeah but if they did that, farmers would have to spend an extra couple of cents of their government subsidies per chicken and then the health insurance industry would make a load less money from exploiting people hospitalised with entirely avoidable illnesses…!
Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if health insurance lobbying is part of the reason it’s this way
I get the cynicism, but the reality is that the system of washing eggs in the US was incredibly effective at reducing salmonella-related illness so we stuck with it. The data demonstrates both systems are about equally effective at preventing salmonella exposure. Similar salmonella outbreaks still happen in the EU’s system, too
