Industry efforts to lower the incidence of Salmonella have been successful, but the number of illnesses from contaminated poultry has not seen a concomitant drop. In this review, the historical background of Salmonella assessment in poultry at the processing plant will be presented along with the problems inherent with current methods. In addition, opportunities for improvement via the availability of emerging detection and identification technologies as well as other food safety measures that can be taken such as consumer education.
