With the emergence of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV) infection of dairy cattle and its subsequent detection in raw milk, coupled with recent AIV infections affecting dairy farm workers, experiments were conducted to affirm the safety of cooked ground beef related to AIV because such meat is often derived from cull dairy cows. Results from the data established that levels of infectious AIV are substantially reduced within inoculated ground beef patties (20% fat) using recommended cooking procedures. Read this article, "Inactivation of Avian Influenza Virus Inoculated into Ground Beef Patties Cooked on a Commerical Open-Flame Gas Grill," in the August 2024 issue of IAFP's Journal of Food Protection. #burgers #foodsafety #IAFP

The IAFP Staff enjoyed a great farewell lunch to celebrate the last few days with our summer intern, Kate Lappe. Kate has been a big help for IAFP throughout this summer, including preparing for and attending IAFP 2024 in Long Beach. We will miss her fun personality and willingness to step in to do whatever needs to be done during an especially busy time. She leaves us next week to return to the University of Northern Iowa as a junior where she plays softball. Thanks for all the hard work and great laughs, Kate!

Controlling Listeria in produce packinghouses can be challenging due to the large number of potential contamination routes. For example, repeated isolation of the same Listeria subtype in a packinghouse could indicate persistence in the packinghouse or reintroduction of the same Listeria from an upstream source. To improve understanding of Listeria transmission patterns in packinghouses, a longitudinal study was performed in four apple packinghouses, including testing of 1,339 environmental sponges and whole genome sequencing (WGS)-based characterization of 280 isolates. Read "Application of Environmental Monitoring Programs and Root Cause Analysis to Identify and Implement Interventions to Reduce or Eliminate Listeria Populations in Apple Packinghouses," from the August 2024 issue of IAFP's Journal of Food Protection: https://brnw.ch/21wLHz8 #IAFP #foodprotection #apples #listeria
