Food Safety Alert: Campylobacter Detected in Raw Poultry and Meat
On October 30, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Campylobacter in raw poultry and meat products originating from Switzerland. This bio-contaminant poses a serious health risk, as Campylobacter is known to cause foodborne illness in humans.
The Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office has issued a warning regarding this contamination, urging consumers to exercise caution when handling and preparing raw poultry and meat. Campylobacter is commonly found in the intestines of birds and can be transmitted to humans through the consumption of undercooked or contaminated meat.
To mitigate the risk of illness, it is essential for consumers to follow safe food handling practices. This includes thoroughly cooking poultry and meat to the recommended internal temperatures, avoiding cross-contamination with other food items, and maintaining proper hygiene in the kitchen.
Additionally, it is advised to wash hands, utensils, and surfaces that come into contact with raw meat to prevent the spread of bacteria. Consumers should remain vigilant and stay informed about food safety alerts to protect their health and well-being.
