New Action plan against Campylobacter in Denmark

The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries in Denmark has initiated a new five-year action plan to fight campylobacter, the country’s most common bacterial cause of human gastrointestinal disease.

The plan stretches over five years and establishes a number of areas in which efforts must be made to reduce the incidence of campylobacter even more. Apart from increasing initiatives on the import side, the plan includes, among other things, insect screens in broiler houses, better methods of allocating meat from Campylobacter positive flocks to the production of frozen products, as well as the use of steam and ultra-sound in order to reduce the bacteria incidence.
