LATEST: FSAI confirms that incidences of salmonella infection in broiler flocks were linked to a food recall it issued last week
“To date, there are no human cases of illness linked to this investigation into the broiler flocks. This on-farm incident has arisen following the food recall of Western Brand undertaken last week,” the FSAI said in a statement.
It is understood the salmonella was detected in a processing facility, which prompted a check back to supplier farms. The authorities were working to deal with the situation as quickly and effectively as possible, he said. “In the meantime, I would ask everybody to review their biosecurity measures and to be extra vigilant.”
