Abstract

In the British Medical Journal recently Sir William Savage drew attention to the increased incidence of cases of food poisoning due to salmonella over the last few years. He regards poultry as the main source of infections, although other animals, such as pigs, cattle, rats and mice, play their part. Sir William lists five main factors in his opinion responsible for the greater frequency of outbreaks: the increasing custom of “eating out” among all classes; extended bulk preparation and pre‐packing of foods; greater usage of imported eggs, frozen or liquid; more frequent occurrence of salmonella in animals; increases in the number of human carriers of salmonella organisms.
