Dr. Fernando Sampedro: Minimizing Salmonella Risks | Ep. 37 The Poultry Podcast Show

During the past few years, risk assessments for Salmonella in poultry have made significant advances – and that is excellent: as public health risks associated with this foodborne pathogen grow, effective risk management strategies must be identified and implemented. To minimize Salmonella contamination risks, the poultry industry has been examining its current practices and maximizing the use of its existing tools. So in this episode, Dr. Sampedro shares his experience with understanding the risks the pathogen poses in food and developing more effective ways to manage those risks.

“Controlling Salmonella is key and there are two main approaches being taken: one is addressing highly virulent stereotypes and the other is moving away from just looking at the prevalence of the pathogen." - Dr. Fernando Sampedro
