  • Title: Prevention of Salmonella enteritidis in shell eggs during production, storage, and transportation. Final rule.
    Author: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 2009 Jul 09; 74(130):33029-101. PubMed ID: 19588581.
    Abstract:
    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule that requires shell egg producers to implement measures to prevent Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) from contaminating eggs on the farm and from further growth during storage and transportation, and requires these producers to maintain records concerning their compliance with the rule and to register with FDA. FDA is taking this action because SE is among the leading bacterial causes of foodborne illness in the United States, and shell eggs are a primary source of human SE infections. The final rule will reduce SE-associated illnesses and deaths by reducing the risk that shell eggs are contaminated with SE.
