Reduction targets for Salmonella in turkeys to further reduce human cases, says EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked by the European Commission to evaluate the impact on public health of reducing Salmonella levels in turkeys across the European Union (EU). The presence of Salmonella in turkeys is considered a risk for public health through the consumption of contaminated meat from these animals. EFSA�s work will support any consideration by the Commission of setting new targets to control Salmonella in turkeys.
