Australia is a major global exporter of beef products exporting more than 70% of products to a range of markets including China, Japan, Korea and the USA. Many of Australia’s export markets have market access regulations that require Australian producers to test beef products for the presence of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC).

SALMONELLA IN RAW FISH FILLETS: WHY DO WE NOT CONSIDER IT A FOOD SAFETY HAZARD? Salmonella is routinely considered a potential food safety hazard in farmed prawns/shrimps but not for farmed fish. Contaminated whole fish and processed portions can cross-contaminate equipment and premises even when the end product will be cooked prior to consumption. Now, more fish species are being used in minimally “processed” recipes (e.g. ceviche & poke) beyond traditional sashimi species.

The forthcoming ISO 16140 Part 3 standard concerns the protocol for the verification of reference methods and validated alternative methods in a single laboratory. Isabelle DESFORGES and Dr Nicolas NGUYEN VAN LONG will explain the expected official release of the new ISO 16140-3 standard, its scope, its impact and relevance to a laboratory, the transition guide.
