Ground turkey tainted with salmonella has caused 76 illnesses and one death since March, the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention (CDC) and USDA (US Department ofAgriculture) announced today. According to PulseNet, the country'sfoodborne illness detection system, the genetic fingerprint of salmonella Heidelberg has been detected in frozen or fresh ground turkey. Theaffected turkey has been purchased throughout the country. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), part of the USDAcontinues investigating potential contamination sources while theCDC partners with state officials to monitor the outbreak,officials reported today.
The FSIS says it is crucial for consumers to carefully follow thecooking instruction on the packages of frozen or fresh groundturkey products, and also to follow good hygiene practices whenpreparing raw meat or poultry. In a communiqu , the USDA wrote: "In particular, while cooking instructions may give a specificnumber of minutes of cooking for each side of the patty in order toattain 165 °F internal temperature, consumers should be awarethat actual time may vary depending on the cooking method(broiling, frying, or grilling) and the temperature of the product(chilled versus frozen) so it is important that the finaltemperature of 165 °F must be reached for safety. Please do notrely on the cooking time for each side of the patty, but use a foodthermometer." Make sure you cook all ground turkey and ground turkey dishes to165F, this should be the internal temperature. The same applieswhen reheating leftovers. Don't rely on the color of the cooked turkey when deciding whetherit has cooked through.
Use a food thermometer. Turkey can staypink, even after it has been safely cooked through. Smoked turkeystays pink the whole way through. Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause disease of the intestinaltract - it is a family that includes over 2,300 serotypes ofbacteria.
Only about twelve serotypes make people ill. Salmonellosis is the disease, an infection with salmonella . The bacteria can cause gastroenteritis , enteric fever , food poisoning , typhoid and other illnesses. The most common sources for human infectionare contaminated water or foods, especially eggs, meat or poultry. Signs and symptoms of Salmonella -induced Gastroenteritis may include: Bloody stools Fever Headache Muscle pains Nausea Shivers (chills) Stomachache Vomiting In most cases the illness lasts from four to seven days.
However,complications can develop and the patient needs to be hospitalized.Authorities say this particular Salmonella strain seems to be resistant to several antibiotics . When dealing with poultry products, the USDA recommends: Wash your hands with warm, soapy water. This should be done atleast 20 seconds before and after you have handled raw poultry. Wash dishes, utensils and cutting boards immediately.
Make sure youclean up spills straight away. Make sure you keep raw poultry away from other foods that are goingto be eaten uncooked. Do not use the same cutting boards. While cooking, the internal temperature of the poultry should reach165F.
Put raw poultry in the fridge within two hours of buying it. If itis a hot day (over 90F), place poultry in the fridge within 1 hour.Place cooked poultry in the fridge within two hours (aftercooking).
