Abstract

Foodborne illnesses (FBDs) have become the most widespread public health problem worldwide. According to the WHO, 95% of FBDs represent diarrheal diseases, with Salmonella as the primary causative agent. The presence of this pathogen in pork has been described as a source of human infection, endangering human health if control and surveillance programs are not in place throughout the production chain. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the concentration of Salmonella spp. in butchering and marketing plants at two pork industries in Colombia. Monthly sampling was conducted for five months at each company, for a total of 425 samples from butchering and marketing plants, which were analyzed using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. High concentrations of Salmonella spp. in meatpacking and marketing plants in the B industry are primarily due to contaminated pigs from the farm, cross-contamination during processing, and a loss of the cold chain; therefore, the implementation of preventive systems helps reduce and control the presence of the pathogen.
