The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of E. coli biotype I strains as surrogates for E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella for the validation of beef carcass interventions. E. coli biotype I strains that expressed fluorescent proteins were used to compare growth characteristics, resistance, attachment properties, and responses to beef carcass interventions with those properties of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella strains.

A quantitative risk assessment was conducted in 2007 for the consumption of beef burgers containing Shiga toxin-producing Eschericha coli by children under the age of 16 in France. Bibliographical data and missing consumption data was obtained to perform the risk assessment, and a mathematical model was developed for an approximate calculation of the average probability of developing a haemolytic uraemic syndrome depending on the pathogen concentration in frozen meet, following the consumption at home of a beef burger bought frozen from the French food industry. This is a summary of the completed risk assessment, which can be found at the French Food Safety Agency website. The original risk assessment is in French.

This report is a collection of pre-harvest microbial risk assessments. Models for all the major food-animal production types, including pigs, beef and dairy cattle, and broilers, have been included. The objectives of the pre-harvest models are to integrate in a food-chain risk assessment, estimate the risk of human infection through exposure to animals or animal products, and identify intervention strategies at the farm level. Appendices include data sheets for Salmonella, Enterococcus faecium, VTEC O157, Campylobacter, BSE, Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis, and low and high pathogenic avian influenza viruses.
