Quantitative risk assessment of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica in pork products

Abstract

Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica is one of most important foodborne pathogens in the world. It infects humans through contaminated poultry and livestock meats. Published literature were reviewed to better understand quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica in pork products, especially the models commonly used. The challenges of QMRA of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica in pork in China were analyzed, which could be the reference for the researches to be conducted in the future.
