A new USDA audit of Germany’s food safety systems for processed meat products exported to the United States did not find much to cause concern. The on-site verification audit of Germany’s inspection system occurred from March 18 through March 29, ending with an exit interview in Berlin. At that interview, Germany’s Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety promised to take corrective actions to address USDA findings. USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is to monitor the...
Public health officials have added another 18 products to a list of recalled beef and veal items that now has more than 830 entries. An investigation into E. coli contamination prompted all of the regional and nationwide recalls. “The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation on E. coli O157:H7 in various beef and veal products sold by Ryding-Regency Meat Packers Ltd. — Establishment 99 — and St. Ann’s Foods Inc./Ryding-Regency Meat Packers Ltd. — Establishment...
A group of experts has identified persistent issues with allergen testing and depleted resources, skills, scientific capability and sampling as key drivers influencing the food and feed sector. A total of 43 stakeholders including representatives from manufacturers, distributors, retailers, importers, regulators, legal and government met in London earlier this year to discuss priorities for the Government Chemist program 2020 to 2023. Attendees said allergens will continue to be an issue as intolerances...
Researchers have discovered how bacteria such as E. coli get the essential nutrient iron during infection. Scientists from Monash University in Australia found pathogenic bacteria obtain iron by pirating it from host proteins. The protein import system of E. coli is an important factor in infections caused by pathogenic strains of this bacteria. Understanding how it functions will allow researchers to target and block it to combat such infections. To grow and cause infection bacteria must get...
St. Louis-based T & R Enterprise USA Inc. has added about 8,000 pounds of additional products to its Oct. 18 recall of meat and poultry egg roll products, bringing the total recall to about 126,000 pounds. Routine inspection activity by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service found the egg rolls were being produced under “insanitary conditions.” “FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers or both. Consumers who have purchased these products...
It is hard to believe that 2019 is drawing to a close. The weather here in Seattle is quickly turning to Fall. The changing colors reminded me that I needed to jump-start our Food Safety News tradition of the food safety naughty and nice list. With over 30,000 subscribers and millions of visitors a month, I thought I would reach out to all to ask that you email me who should be on the naughty or nice list this year. Please shoot me the name or names of people or businesses that warrant our praise...

Abstract Purpose The benefits of exercise across the lifespan and for a wide spectrum of health and diseases are well known. However, there remains less clarity as to the effects of both acute and chronic exercise on joint health. Serum biomarkers of joint metabolism are sensitive to change and have the potential to differentiate between normal and adverse adaptations to acute and chronic load. Therefore, the primary objective of this...

Other Plant Disease -- United States[A] rare soybean disease, tobacco ringspot virus [TRSV], has appeared in Indiana. The disease is hard to miss in a field. Infected plants have few pods. They stay green longer because there are virtually no beans for the plant to feed sugars to, so sugars remain in stems. A few pods may have one or more beans in them. They seldom mature, however.Darcy Telenko, Purdue University, indicated that she hasn't seen the disease very often. TRSV can be transmitted through...

Equine Herpes Virus -- United StatesSix horses were euthanized in Boulder City after being infected with Equine Herpes Virus Type 1. "It affected their motor skills and their hind legs. They had to lie down and then they couldn't get back up again," said Scott Pastore, president of the Boulder City Horseman's Association.The Nevada Department of Agriculture says there is no public health risk but did place a mandatory quarantine on the facility. For at least the next 28 days, no horses are allowed...

West Nile Virus -- United StatesGrouse across the western Great Lakes region are being impacted by West Nile virus carried by mosquitoes, including 29% of grouse tested in Wisconsin, but not all birds that carry the disease are dying.That was the takeaway message when wildlife researchers in Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin finally released results of samples taken on grouse shot by hunters in 2018. The results were months overdue.Across the 3 states, tests were conducted on 720 grouse samples,...

Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), with a proven role in prostate cancer management, has been associated with various cardiovascular diseases. However, few studies have investigated these associations by type of ADT, particularly for newer ADTs such as the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist degarelix. We investigated the risk of cardiovascular disease by type of ADT in a real-world setting. Methods: We identified men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer, from 2009...
Sibling comparison designs have long been used to assess causal effects of exposures for which randomized studies are impossible and measurement of all relevant confounding is unobtainable. The idea is to utilize the fact that siblings often share a lot of unobserved variables. Therefore, it is proposed that in certain cases, comparing siblings is equivalent to comparing exchangeable individuals, which is the foundation for causal inference based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, this...

Background: Melbourne, Australia, witnessed a thunderstorm asthma outbreak on 21st November 2016, resulting in over 8,000 hospital admissions by 6pm. This is a typical acute disease event. Because the time to respond is short for acute disease events, an algorithm based on time between events has shown promise. Shorter the time between consecutive incidents of the disease, more likely the outbreak. Social media posts such as tweets can be used as input to the monitoring algorithm. However, due...

Abstract Background Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) usually features a syndrome of inappropriate secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (SITSH) without suppression of the typical high thyroid hormone levels. However, some patients with RTH show thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression due to thyrotoxicosis. We report a case of painless thyroiditis in a patient with RTH that was misdiagnosed as Graves’ disease because of...
Abstract Background A high body fat percentage has a specific effect on activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. On the other hand, a slight change in thyroid hormones can affect metabolism and body composition as well as immune function. This study aims to examine the relationship between adiposity, thyroid hormone levels and immunity by comparing resting energy expenditure (REE), serum thyroid hormone levels and complement...
