Edmond Panariti, former Minister of Agriculture, in the studio of the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV, raised the alarm about the use of chicken meat suspected of being contaminated with salmonella that has been entering the country for weeks. He asked the AKU to go to fast food units to control the cooking of food that is most frequented by young people.
"Salmonella is a very widespread bacterium, it is an enterobacterium that normally populates the intestinal tract. It is widespread in nature, found in many species. The salmonella that has been identified by the Food Safety Institute and called Salmonella Typhimurium, causes Typhoid.
It is a salmonella, which is zoonotic, meaning it also affects humans, because there are also salmonella that are species-specific, for example, it only affects poultry. Whereas this Salmonella, which has been identified by the institute, is a salmonella that affects humans, therefore, it has constituted and constitutes an extremely great concern.
It penetrates the intestinal mucosa and enters the bloodstream, and this can happen in people with compromised immunity, with reduced immunity, which is usually the elderly, but also children whose immunity has not yet been consolidated. Here we can of course have severe forms that can be life-threatening, so it is something very serious.
The fact is that when this bacteria is identified in products of animal origin or in food products as a whole, a red alert is given to consider something very serious and the measures are drastic.
So, if you look at all the protocols of measures that are taken when this bacterium is identified as present in food products, in our case, a product of animal origin was found in a frozen chicken fillet that comes from a country outside the European Union, it comes from Brazil, therefore any product that comes from these third countries and that does not come from the European Union is considered suspicious and great attention must be paid.
I have to give a message to the consumer. Of course people consume chicken, even more so for the Albanian consumer standard, which is also cheap meat. Be careful to cook it well in case. A chicken fillet is put in the oven at a temperature of two hundred degrees for at least twenty minutes, the critical temperature in the pulp of over 70 degrees is reached and it is destroyed, so little attention.
Or putting this meat in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes destroys it, but the problem is not that you have this in your hands, but what happens in fast food that is the problem.
"I would suggest to the National Food Authority to go to fast food and check with a thermometer the cooking temperature of chicken fillets, as well as meat fillets coming from third countries of origin, to do this check in order to offer the consumer the appropriate guarantee and to calm public opinion," said Panariti.
