How to recognise
Although raw materials analysed at the point of departure may receive a green light for shipment, the often rapid changes in temperature and humidity during shipping provide an ideal environment for harmful bacteria such as Salmonella to develop and grow.
Once raw materials arrive at the port of destination they are sampled again, and in the case of a positive analysis result for Salmonella their value is decreased significantly and they may not be allowed to continue to their final destination.
To prevent further degradation of raw material quality and to mitigate the harmful bacteria, it is vital that an effective treatment is applied.
