What changed
The RASFF notification records a confirmed detection of Salmonella spp. (pathogenic) in a turkey meat product ('Anca di tacchino') sampled on 1 April 2026 in Italy, with the analytical result 'Rilevato /25g'. Italy responded with an official detention measure. A corrigendum follow-up was also logged on 22 April 2026.\n\nFood business operators involved in the production, import, and distribution of poultry meat products within the EU should treat this notification as indicative of heightened enforcement scrutiny on Salmonella controls. Establishments handling raw poultry should review their Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plans, with particular attention to microbiological testing protocols at incoming goods and during processing.
