After an outbreak last fall, the U.S. Department of Agriculture \u003ca href=\"http://www.marlerblog.com/files/2013/10/Foster-Poultry-Farms-Est.-6137P.pdf\">threatened\u003c/a> to shut down three of the company's plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, though, the company has \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarms.com/about/press/press_release.asp?press_release_id=184\">reduced\u003c/a> its rates of salmonella contamination dramatically. Some food safety experts are now saying the whole poultry industry should follow this company's example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is also taking the lead in figuring out a food safety mystery: How in the world do tests detect salmonella frequently on cut-up chicken parts but not on whole chicken carcasses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms recently gave me a small peek inside its anti-salmonella campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob O'Connor, a veterinarian who has worked at the company for the past 17 years, drove me to a ranch near the town of Merced, in California's Central Valley. It's an enormous operation, with dozens of long, narrow chicken houses lined up on dry, bare dirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms owns and operates this complex, as it does most of its chicken-raising farms. Other major poultry companies rely on contract farmers, an arrangement that has drawn much \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/20/279040721/the-system-that-supplies-our-chickens-pits-farmer-against-farmer\">criticism\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside one of the houses, thousands of little chicks are walking around on the floor. They're 11 days old, cute and apparently healthy. But O'Connor says there's a lot that you can't see. \"I cannot look at this flock of birds and say to you that these birds have salmonella in their gastrointestinal tract,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in most cases, it's safe to assume that some do. Scientists have tested some flocks of chickens in the U.S. and Europe and found salmonella in anywhere from 7 to 70 percent of all live birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's disturbing, because people eventually will eat them. Fully cooking chicken does kill the bacteria. But if salmonella on raw chicken gets on your cutting board and then contaminates, say, some carrots, it can make you really sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years now, the poultry industry has been struggling to limit the presence of salmonella. These chicken houses, for example, are designed to keep out wildlife, like mice or wild birds, that carry the bacteria. When chickens are slaughtered, the carcasses are washed with antimicrobial solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to USDA regulations, no more than 7.5 percent of the chicken carcasses coming from a chicken plant can test positive for salmonella.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms — which turns out millions of pounds of chicken meat every week — usually does much better than that. \"We had 0 percent on most of our carcass sampling\" for the past three or four years, says O'Connor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's executives thought they were doing really well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/heidelberg-10-13/\">evidence\u003c/a> that chicken from Foster Farms had caused a wave of salmonella infections. More than 600 people had gotten sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspectors from the USDA arrived at Foster Farms plants, and this time, they went much farther than the standard safety test. Instead of just testing whole chicken carcasses, they took samples of what most consumers actually buy: the cut-up parts, such as breasts, thighs and wings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they found is now shaking up the whole poultry industry. Their tests showed salmonella on about 25 percent of those cut-up chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://achesongroup.com/about-us/david-acheson/\">David Acheson\u003c/a>, a former associate commissioner for foods at the Food and Drug Administration, says this pattern has been discovered at other poultry companies, too. Whole carcasses are largely free of salmonella, but then the bacteria appear on nearly a quarter of the chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a mystery that the poultry industry is now trying to resolve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happened?\" says Acheson. \"Did this bug come in from the environment? Did something contaminate it during the process — the equipment, the workers, something weird like that? Or were we missing it the first time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably we were missing it, Acheson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one theory for how: When those whole carcasses are tested, they've just been chilled to 40 degrees. But in the next stage of processing, when they're cut up into parts, they warm up about 10 degrees.

Some experts thought the bacteria might be invading the chicken houses from outside, carried by mice or wild birds or beetles. So the company tested for salmonella on the dirt near the houses, and in the green, irrigated fields nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those are vineyards, right there,\" O'Connor says, gesturing toward one field. \"Those are almond orchards over there.

The contamination, in fact, was concentrated in the houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems that once salmonella bacteria got established inside those houses, they stayed there, and infected each new flock of chickens that came to live there. \"So the interventions that we did for broilers were to really focus on cleaning up the houses themselves,\" O'Connor says. \"The whole entire house was soaped down. Then you disinfect it. And then you let it sit. We let these farms sit for about six weeks without any birds in them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms did a lot of other things, too. It made sure that the breeding hens in their hatcheries were salmonella-free, because if those hens have salmonella, their children will, too. The company put more money into vaccination, and spent more time washing equipment in processing plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took months, but it made a big difference. The share of chicken parts that tested positive for salmonella fell from 20 percent to less than 5 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acheson says that's really good.

After an outbreak last fall, the U.S. Department of Agriculture \u003ca href=\"http://www.marlerblog.com/files/2013/10/Foster-Poultry-Farms-Est.-6137P.pdf\">threatened\u003c/a> to shut down three of the company's plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, though, the company has \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarms.com/about/press/press_release.asp?press_release_id=184\">reduced\u003c/a> its rates of salmonella contamination dramatically. Some food safety experts are now saying the whole poultry industry should follow this company's example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is also taking the lead in figuring out a food safety mystery: How in the world do tests detect salmonella frequently on cut-up chicken parts but not on whole chicken carcasses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms recently gave me a small peek inside its anti-salmonella campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob O'Connor, a veterinarian who has worked at the company for the past 17 years, drove me to a ranch near the town of Merced, in California's Central Valley. It's an enormous operation, with dozens of long, narrow chicken houses lined up on dry, bare dirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms owns and operates this complex, as it does most of its chicken-raising farms. Other major poultry companies rely on contract farmers, an arrangement that has drawn much \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/20/279040721/the-system-that-supplies-our-chickens-pits-farmer-against-farmer\">criticism\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside one of the houses, thousands of little chicks are walking around on the floor. They're 11 days old, cute and apparently healthy. But O'Connor says there's a lot that you can't see. \"I cannot look at this flock of birds and say to you that these birds have salmonella in their gastrointestinal tract,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in most cases, it's safe to assume that some do. Scientists have tested some flocks of chickens in the U.S. and Europe and found salmonella in anywhere from 7 to 70 percent of all live birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's disturbing, because people eventually will eat them. Fully cooking chicken does kill the bacteria. But if salmonella on raw chicken gets on your cutting board and then contaminates, say, some carrots, it can make you really sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years now, the poultry industry has been struggling to limit the presence of salmonella. These chicken houses, for example, are designed to keep out wildlife, like mice or wild birds, that carry the bacteria. When chickens are slaughtered, the carcasses are washed with antimicrobial solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to USDA regulations, no more than 7.5 percent of the chicken carcasses coming from a chicken plant can test positive for salmonella.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms — which turns out millions of pounds of chicken meat every week — usually does much better than that. \"We had 0 percent on most of our carcass sampling\" for the past three or four years, says O'Connor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's executives thought they were doing really well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/heidelberg-10-13/\">evidence\u003c/a> that chicken from Foster Farms had caused a wave of salmonella infections. More than 600 people had gotten sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspectors from the USDA arrived at Foster Farms plants, and this time, they went much farther than the standard safety test. Instead of just testing whole chicken carcasses, they took samples of what most consumers actually buy: the cut-up parts, such as breasts, thighs and wings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they found is now shaking up the whole poultry industry. Their tests showed salmonella on about 25 percent of those cut-up chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://achesongroup.com/about-us/david-acheson/\">David Acheson\u003c/a>, a former associate commissioner for foods at the Food and Drug Administration, says this pattern has been discovered at other poultry companies, too. Whole carcasses are largely free of salmonella, but then the bacteria appear on nearly a quarter of the chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a mystery that the poultry industry is now trying to resolve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happened?\" says Acheson. \"Did this bug come in from the environment? Did something contaminate it during the process — the equipment, the workers, something weird like that? Or were we missing it the first time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably we were missing it, Acheson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one theory for how: When those whole carcasses are tested, they've just been chilled to 40 degrees. But in the next stage of processing, when they're cut up into parts, they warm up about 10 degrees. That warmth may release salmonella that was trapped in skin pores of the chilled carcass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If any salmonella bacteria are present, the process of cutting up the carcass may spread the microbes around, contaminating lots of chicken parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No matter how the salmonella got there, though, Foster Farms had to figure out a way to get rid of them, because the USDA was threatening to close three of the company's plants. \"We had 72 hours to respond to that, to come up with a plan to control salmonella prevalence on parts,\" says O'Connor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster Farms brought in outside safety advisers, including Acheson, the former FDA official, who now works as a consultant to food companies.

The recall came on top of an \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/heidelberg-10-13/map.html\">outbreak\u003c/a> of salmonella that's been going on since October 2013. Some of the 621 cases reported in 29 states and Puerto Rico have been linked to Foster Farms chicken products. And let's not forget last fall, when U.S. Department of Agriculture food safety officials \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/10/10/salmonella-shutdown-usda-threatens-closure-of-major-chicken-plants/\">threatened\u003c/a> to shut down a Foster Farms processing plant in Fresno, Calif., because of salmonella contamination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here's the paradox: Foster Farms may now be one of the country's cleanest, safest sources of chicken products. That's according to the USDA, which has been testing chicken parts that are processed at Foster Farms plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the USDA threatened to shut down the plants in October, the company called in food safety experts and set up new \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarmsfoodsafety.com/\">procedures\u003c/a> to eliminate salmonella contamination. It's made a difference, the government says. At Foster Farms plants, fewer than 5 percent of chicken parts test positive for salmonella. At other companies, it's typically about 20 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In mid-June, in fact, Foster Farms \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarms.com/about/press/press_release.asp?press_release_id=181\">celebrated\u003c/a> this success at a meeting to mark the company's 75th anniversary. Company officials were joined by government officials who sang the company's praises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California called on other chicken companies to follow Foster Farms' example. David Acheson, former chief medical officer of the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service and a former associate commissioner for foods at the Food and Drug Administration, praised the company for being \"willing to devote the time and resources to becoming a world leader in food safety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This latest recall, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's reports that Foster Farms chicken is linked to a wider salmonella outbreak, now are raising questions about how effective the company's safety push effort really has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a possible explanation for the conflicting reports from Foster Farms. It's possible that the recent spate of bad news reflects Foster Farms' earlier operations, before the recent improvements. The July recall, for instance, covers chicken products that emerged from a Foster Farms plant back in March. Similarly, even though the CDC continues releasing updates on a large salmonella outbreak, with 621 people sickened, most of those people actually got sick many months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, even though the CDC has linked this salmonella outbreak to chicken from Foster Farms, a USDA spokesman says it's possible that the outbreak may come from multiple sources. Some of the cases of salmonella poisoning, for instance, have been reported in places where Foster Farms doesn't even distribute its chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a statement from the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, \"because our intensified sampling [at Foster Farms facilities] is showing low levels of Salmonella ... FSIS has been investigating whether illnesses are being caused by other sources.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, even though Foster Farms has reduced salmonella contamination at its plants, it hasn't managed to eliminate it completely. So there's still a risk that the bacteria make somebody sick. Maybe Foster Farms was just really unlucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The California chicken producer has been dogged by food safety problems at its plants for months.

The recall came on top of an \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/heidelberg-10-13/map.html\">outbreak\u003c/a> of salmonella that's been going on since October 2013. Some of the 621 cases reported in 29 states and Puerto Rico have been linked to Foster Farms chicken products. And let's not forget last fall, when U.S. Department of Agriculture food safety officials \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/10/10/salmonella-shutdown-usda-threatens-closure-of-major-chicken-plants/\">threatened\u003c/a> to shut down a Foster Farms processing plant in Fresno, Calif., because of salmonella contamination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here's the paradox: Foster Farms may now be one of the country's cleanest, safest sources of chicken products. That's according to the USDA, which has been testing chicken parts that are processed at Foster Farms plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the USDA threatened to shut down the plants in October, the company called in food safety experts and set up new \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarmsfoodsafety.com/\">procedures\u003c/a> to eliminate salmonella contamination. It's made a difference, the government says. At Foster Farms plants, fewer than 5 percent of chicken parts test positive for salmonella. At other companies, it's typically about 20 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In mid-June, in fact, Foster Farms \u003ca href=\"http://www.fosterfarms.com/about/press/press_release.asp?press_release_id=181\">celebrated\u003c/a> this success at a meeting to mark the company's 75th anniversary. Company officials were joined by government officials who sang the company's praises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California called on other chicken companies to follow Foster Farms' example. David Acheson, former chief medical officer of the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service and a former associate commissioner for foods at the Food and Drug Administration, praised the company for being \"willing to devote the time and resources to becoming a world leader in food safety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This latest recall, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's reports that Foster Farms chicken is linked to a wider salmonella outbreak, now are raising questions about how effective the company's safety push effort really has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a possible explanation for the conflicting reports from Foster Farms. It's possible that the recent spate of bad news reflects Foster Farms' earlier operations, before the recent improvements. The July recall, for instance, covers chicken products that emerged from a Foster Farms plant back in March. Similarly, even though the CDC continues releasing updates on a large salmonella outbreak, with 621 people sickened, most of those people actually got sick many months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, even though the CDC has linked this salmonella outbreak to chicken from Foster Farms, a USDA spokesman says it's possible that the outbreak may come from multiple sources. Some of the cases of salmonella poisoning, for instance, have been reported in places where Foster Farms doesn't even distribute its chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a statement from the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, \"because our intensified sampling [at Foster Farms facilities] is showing low levels of Salmonella ... FSIS has been investigating whether illnesses are being caused by other sources.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, even though Foster Farms has reduced salmonella contamination at its plants, it hasn't managed to eliminate it completely. So there's still a risk that the bacteria make somebody sick. Maybe Foster Farms was just really unlucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/84777/is-foster-farms-a-food-safety-pioneer-or-a-persistent-offender","authors":["byline_bayareabites_84777"],"categories":["bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_10916","bayareabites_2035"],"tags":["bayareabites_10994","bayareabites_621","bayareabites_12641","bayareabites_11270","bayareabites_12527","bayareabites_888","bayareabites_2037","bayareabites_10921","bayareabites_8913"],"featImg":"bayareabites_84778","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_83485":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_83485","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"83485","score":null,"sort":[1402764881000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"salmonella-outbreak-linked-to-chia-seed-powders-cdc-says","title":"Salmonella Outbreak Linked To Chia Seed Powders, CDC Says","publishDate":1402764881,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83486\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1599px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/chia-powder-0a7b55b0f1a5db1f7416b1d96a55ca26fe6693aa.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/chia-powder-0a7b55b0f1a5db1f7416b1d96a55ca26fe6693aa.jpg\" alt=\"Salmonella has recently been found in ground chia seed powder, a superfood being put in everything from smoothies to cereal.
