Proteste found bacteria in six brands of meat
Last week, Protest - Brazilian Association of Consumer Protection conducted a test with 26 samples of beef , inlays and cuts of chicken, acquired in supermarket chains in the State of São Paulo.
The request for analysis was made by the population, after the controversy with the Federal Police's Low Meat Operation, in which irregularities were verified in the products of large companies.
According to the Protest, the bacterium Salmonella sp was found in a sample of Ffiloi JBS and Naturafrig. contrary to the requirement of 25g absence of the product.
The presence of this microorganism probably reveals contamination during the slaughter, processing and packaging operations
Presence of listeria
It was also detected the presence of listeriosis bacteria in the bovine buckwheat of FriAlto and Better Beef. And on Marfrig's diaper and Seara's chicken breast fillet.
This bacterium can be found in soil, water and some animals, including poultry and cattle. Unlike many microorganisms, Listeria monocytogenes can grow in very cold temperatures, even in the refrigerator. In contact with humans, Listeria monocytogenes can cause a food infection that mainly affects patients with low immunity, pregnant women, the elderly and newborns, leading to a high mortality rate, ranging from 20 to 30%. Healthy subjects, out of gestation and who have normal immunity, are highly resistant to this infection.
In Brazil, unfortunately, there is no standard regulating the presence of listeria in meat. In its website, Proteste states that "the standard should at least require the absence of the bacteria in 25g / sample."
The results of the research were forwarded to the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and the Ministry of Agriculture , Livestock and Supply (MAPA). In the document, the consumer protection organization also demanded more supervision and clarification on what measures will be taken ...
Company positioning
In a press release Marfrig said: "Marfrig has a rigorous process of quality assurance and food safety, keeping all the documentation relevant to the tests performed on samples collected from each batch.The product is only released to the market after the validation of the quality assurance area.The production units also undergo periodic audits In relation to the aforementioned lot, there was no detection of the presence of the bacteria cited in the tests performed on the samples collected. "
Through its press service, Seara informs that there is no record of any non-compliance with the product of chicken breast of the brand.
With regard to the test published by PROTESTE, in which it quotes pr Listeria monocytogenes in a sample of Seara chicken breast fillet, the company clarifies that it did not have access to the methodology adopted in the tests of its products, laboratories in which they were made, the places where they were acquired, conditions in which the products were stored and criteria adopted. The company also states that the results presented by Proteste are in line with the national and international profile for raw meats.
For Seara, quality is a priority. All products of the brand strictly follow the requirements of MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply) and the company understands its responsibility to ensure the Quality and safety of its products, maintaining strict Quality System, with programs and control standards processes and products, as well as constant international health and customer inspections.
The brand also makes the reservation that ANVISA - Sanitary Surveillance Agency - through RDC 12 of 2001, defines the requirement of absence of Listeria monocytogenes only in foods ready for consumption that allow the development of the bacteria. In this sense, all the results of the tests carried out by Protest in the products of Seara completely obeyed the legal requirements established by ANVISA, differing from the publication made by Protest.
Friboi informs that, unlike Protest's analysis, there is no record of any non-compliance with the anti-filing product. With respect to the consumer and food safety standards, the company systematically carries out analyzes in its internal laboratories equipped with advanced technology that aid in the strict quality control system and that guarantee the safety of the foods produced and marketed by the brand. An average of 2.3 thousand monthly analyzes are carried out for the research of Salmonella ssp microorganisms with analytical methods indicated for research on fresh meat, approved by international agencies and validated by comparison with ISO 6579.
Friboi also points out that no

NBR? ISO / IEC 17025/2005), also allowing the full performance of the respective control in laboratories of high credibility and absolute exemption.
