Poultry Feed and Human Food?
There are so many publications on quality of poultry feed and effects it may
have on safety of poultry products for human consumption. Poultry feed can be
contaminated with a wide range of substances including microbial pathogens,
toxins, and chemicals (1).

Poultry feed can be contaminated with a wide range of substances

Impact of animal feed on food safety was the theme of a joint
meeting of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the
World Health Organization (WHO) in Italy in October 2007.
Occurrence of disease outbreaks in humans, as a result of consumption of
poultry products, has been in the center of attention and scrutiny. Increasing
consumer awareness is and will be one of the main challenges for the poultry
industry all around the world.
1. How safe are poultry products in your country?
2. Do you think that this is only
a problem of less developed
countries? Or developed states also remain vulnerable?
3. How does consumer awareness play a role in forcing the poultry
industry?
