The Minister for Agriculture Food & the Marine Michael Creed T.D. today launched a report by the Campylobacter Stakeholders Group chaired by Professor Patrick Wall and whose membership were drawn from across the poultry meat sector. The group’s remit was to ensure that collective actions were taken across the entire supply chain to further improve biosecurity and other standards and minimise any risk of Campylobacter infection from poultry meat.
Over the past two years the group initiated and recommended a number of actions, including the development of an optimum bio-security protocol for growers, consideration of new post harvest interventions by commercial processors, educating consumers, and enhanced surveillance.
