Types of produces eligible for Salmonella and Campylobacter Testing

Testing for Salmonella and Campylobacter is concentrated on products where these pathogens are most commonly found, so the focus is on poultry carcasses. Young chicken and young turkey carcasses are the category eligible because Campylobacter and Salmonella rates are highest in poultry during slaughter and processing, making carcass testing an effective way to monitor contamination and verify that controls are working. Beef carcasses, fish fillets, and dairy products can harbor these bacteria, but they’re not the focus of this particular eligibility criterion, as they’re addressed by different programs or testing approaches.
