Amendment: Control of salmonella and zoonotic agents

This procedure aims to update the rules for controlling Salmonella and other zoonotic agents—diseases that can spread from animals to humans—within the food chain. By refining monitoring and control standards, the legislation seeks to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses and ensure a high level of public health protection across the EU.

This affects food producers, processors, and distributors, particularly in the livestock and poultry sectors. It introduces stricter safety requirements and monitoring protocols to prevent contamination in food products.
