The department on Thursday said it was withdrawing a rule proposed in August after three years of development. Officials with the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service cited feedback from more than 7,000 public comments and said they would “evaluate whether it should update” current salmonella regulations.The rule would have required poultry companies to keep levels of salmonella bacteria under a certain threshold and test for the presence of six strains most associated with illness, including three found in turkey and three in chicken. If the levels exceeded the standard or any of those strains were found, the poultry couldn’t be sold and would be subject to recall, the proposal had said.
The plan aimed to reduce an estimated 125,000 salmonella infections from chicken and 43,000 from turkey each year, according to USDA. Overall, salmonella causes 1.35 million infections a year, most through food, and about 420 deaths, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The withdrawal drew praise from the National Chicken Council, an industry trade group, which said the proposed rule was legally unsound, misinterpreted science, would have increased costs and create more food waste, all “with no meaningful impact on public health.”The airstrikes late Friday targeted missile storage facilities on Syria’s Mediterranean coast that the Israeli military said “posed a threat to international and Israeli maritime freedom of navigation,” according to a brief statement.
State-run news agency SANA said the strikes in the Latakia area resulted in “material damage” but no casualties were reported.Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes across Syria targeting military infrastructure since Syrian Islamist insurgents toppled the government of Bashar Assad late last year. Israeli forces have also captured a buffer zone along the Golan Heights.
Friday’s strike comes a day after the U.S. special envoy to Syria reopened the long-shuttered U.S. ambassador’s residence in Damascus — a sign ofbetween Washington and the new Syrian government.
