Scientific Evidence:
- Salmonellosis disease occurs related to the consumption of contaminated food and food products not cooked well, like seafood, egg, poultry, milk, beef, pork and non-washed raw vegetables and fruits.
- Salmonellosis causes many clinical symptoms in humans, grading from acute diarrhoea, abdominal cramp, and vomiting and may localize in the bowel to irritate the gut. It can also cause systemic infection by the migration of bacteria to the blood, causing septicemia.

What Regulations Clarifies:

- Codex also advises the prevention of Salmonella contamination in beef and pork meat from the point of primary production till consumption should use the principles of food safety risk analysis whenever practical and suitable. Competent authorities should develop risk management metrics wherever it is feasible to represent the level of control of Salmonella in beef and hog meat necessary to achieve public health objectives.
- The risk management framework (RMF) concept is promoted in Principles and Guidelines for the Conduct of Microbiological Risk Management (MRM) (CAC/GL 63-2007).
