Docket No. FSIS 2011-2012
submitted by Ellen Silbergeld, PhD
I am Ellen K Silbergeld, PhD, and I am submitting these comments as a private citizen
who has stakes in this proposed rule as a consumer of US produced poultry products
and also as an expert in public health with particular knowledge of food borne illnesses
and occupational health and safety in US meatpacking and poultry processing
operations For identification purposes I am a professor in environmental health
sciences and epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
(JHSPH) in Baltimore MD. Dr Silbergeld has conducted research over the past 10
years, with funded from USFDA, NIH, CDC, and other sources, on exposes to
pathogens associated with intensive broiler production in the US. Her laboratory
group’s studies have examined exposures to farmers and slaughterhouse workers and
consumers and included studies on Enterococci, Staphylococci, E coli, and
Campylobacter. This research has been published In leading peer-reviewed journals
and it has been presented by invitation at CDC and ICOH (an official organization of the
ILO-WHO). We are currently conducting the first analysis of OSHA data on workplace
injury and infections among workers in US poultry slaughter and processing plants. A
copy of Dr Silbergeld’s professional resume is attached.
I appreciate the extended opportunity to submit comments on this Proposed Rule. I
have several concerns about the Rule as proposed with respect toits potential impacts
on worker health and safety as well as increased risks of consumer exposure to and
infection by pathogens that are already prevalent In broiler poultry products produced
and sold in the US. The economic rationale for these proposals is unacceptable in that
it considers mainly the savings of reducing inspection and increasing line speeds in
poultry slaughter and processing operations without examining costs of workplace injury
and illness as well as food borne illnesses among consumers. The proposed rule
contains numerous assertions that are not based on evidence, even in cases where
scientific studies conducted by USDA provide important evidence. We provide these
data in this comment. There is a critical need for both review of existing data and
collection of new data to support the assertions in this Proposed Rule prior to finalizing
any of the changes in workplace conditions in this proposed regulation.
In this comment, we have cited some of the recent relevant peer reviewed literature,
including papers from our research group a Hopkins, but with an emphasis on important
publications by scientists at USDA, FDA, and CDC. This highlights the need for
continued intra- and inter-agency consultation and expert review prior to promulgating
changes with such implications.
Food borne illness: CDC researchers have estimated the burden of food borne illness
in the US from major pathogens to include 48 million cases of disease, 128,000

hospitalizations, and 3000 deaths per year (Table 1 from Scharff 2012). The economic
burden of food borne illness in the US has been recently estimated to be between $51
and 77 billion per year (Scharff 2012). One of the most prevalent causes of
gastroenteritis in the US is the poultry associated pathogen Camplyobacter jejuni (Table
1). Moreover, as noted by CDC, most of the burden of food borne disease outbreaks
and hospitalizations is likely due to unidentified food borne pathogens (Scallan et al
2011). New and emerging food borne pathogens continue to be identified, such as
methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium diifficile (Gould and
Limbago 2010; Hanson et al 2011; Waters et al 2011).

of cases (Scharff 2012)

Comments on USDA Proposed Rule “Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection”
Food borne illness associated with poultry consumption also involves drug resistant
pathogens because of the continued use of antimicrobial drugs at sub-therapeutic
concentrations as additives to broiler poultry feeds (Angulo et al 2004; Silbergeld et al
2008). The prevalence of drug resistant pathogens in US consumer poultry products
(including broiler chickens and turkeys) has been frequently reported by USDA and FDA
investigators, as well as by us and other academic researchers (for example, Zhao et al
2012; Price et al 2007; Waters et al 2011; Hanson et al 2011). These draft regulations
propose to significantly modify existing programs related to reducing consumer
exposure to Salmonella despite compelling FDA data on the prevalence of this
pathogen in poultry (Zhao et al 2006). As shown in table 1, a CDC analysis
demonstrates that Salmonella infections are the leading bacterial cause of food borne
disease in the US. Guo (scientist at the FSIS, USDA) and colleagues estimated the
contribution of poultry consumption to the burden of human salmonellosis cases from
food sources, and reported that 48% of disease cases were attributable to chicken and
17% to turkey (see figure 1 from Guo et al 2012). As indicated in this figure chicken is
the leading source of salmonella infections in the food supply and the risks associated
with chicken increased over the period assessed in this study.

product in the US from 1998 to 2003. Note that risks associated with poultry
increased over the period covered by these data (Guo et al 2012).

Moreover, ending testing for E coli is not appropriate, given USDA studies that
demonstrates that this organism can serve as a reservoir or source of transferrable
genetic determinants for antimicrobial resistance in food borne pathogens (Glenn et al
2012) well as fundamental knowledge of molecular microbiology (Staider et al 2012).
Table 2 illustrates the extent of transferrable multidrug resistant cassettes isolated in E
coli from poultry; some of these carry genes for as many as 10 different resistance
phenotypes including resistance to the clinically important antimicrobials amoxicillin,
sulfamethoxazole, streptomycin, kanamycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,
tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, cefoxitin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, and ceftiofur (Glenn
et al 2012).

Comments on USDA Proposed Rule “Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection”
Worker health and safety: Current conditions, including line speeds, in
slaughter/processing plants, are associated with a considerable burden of chronic and
acute injury and disability. It is generally agreed that these injuries as well as chronic
musculoskeletal diseases and disorders are under reported by the poultry slaughter and
processing industry (as reviewed by a 1990 study sponsored by the National Broiler
Council (Ortiz and Jacobs 1990)). With these caveats, the following data sources are
highly relevant for evaluating the current burden of disease and disability related to work
in this industry. A study of poultry processing workers in North Carolina, conducted in
2009-2010, reported that medically diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome (CPT) was 2.5%
more likely than in other manual workers, a highly significant finding (p<0.0001)
(Cartwright et al 2012). Moreover, workers on the line were the most likely to be
diagnosed with CPT as compared to workers in other jobs in these poultry plants. A
2007 study of women employed in poultry processing in North Carolina observed a 2.4fold increase in rates of musculoskeletal disorders compared to similar persons not
employed in poultry processing (Lipscomb 2007). These findings are similar to a larger
study conducted in Sweden in which workers involved in deboning processes had the
highest rates of diagnosed CPT (Frost et al 1999). Line speed has been also
associated with increased reports of dysmenorrhea in female workers, an indication of
work-associated stress. In a study of women working in a French processing plant,
workers who reporting working on the line, who were restricted from frequent movement
due to line speed, and experienced difficulty keeping up with the line at greater risk of
dysmenorrhea compared (Messing 1993).
We are conducting an analysis of industry reports submitted from 2004 to 2008 to
OSHA on injuries and infections in poultry processing plants in the US (OSHA 300
reports). These data confirm that occupations in poultry slaughter/processing plants
continue to have elevated rates of injuries as compared to the US private industry
workforce (BLS 2010). As shown in Table 3, industry-reported injury rates ranged from
4.8 to 14.3 per 100 workers. These high rates are also consistent with an earlier study
of four poultry processing plants sponsored by the National Broiler Council (1990). Our
study is the first to examine associations between reported injuries and infections in
poultry processing workers. As shown in Figure 2, most lacerations and infections
were reported by workers in the live hang and cut support jobs, work areas with lines.
This is an example of failure to examine and evaluate the evidence from existing studies
on a critical topic that will be influenced by this proposed regulation if finalized.

Comments on USDA Proposed Rule “Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection”
Inter-relatedness of worker and food safety. The issues of worker safety and food
safety are intertwined and should be considered in mutual context. That is, allowing
changes that impact on worker safety -- such as permitting large increases in line
speeds in poultry slaughter and processing -- will also impact food safety. Equally,
changing rules that impact on food safety – such as reducing inspections and testing –
will increase worker health risks. As noted above, both musculoskeletal injury and
acute physical injury rates are highest in those areas of work within poultry processing
where line work dominates, demonstrating the importance of understanding line speed
as a risk factor for injury. Increasing line speed also increases the likelihood of
pathogen contamination in consumer poultry products at two stages, at the first stage
(from kill to chill), increased line speed will decrease the available time for visual
inspection and the already incomplete process of carcass sanitization through chilling or
a brief chlorine or other chemical immersion; and most importantly at the second state
by increasing contamination and exposure or workers during product deboning, cutting,
and other operations in the processing plant (which is discussed in more detail in the
next paragraph). With regard to the first stage, an empirical study by USDA on different
immersion chilling methods reported overall reductions in prevalence of Salmonella
contamination of carcasses (Berrang et al 2009). However, complete pathogen control
has never been achieved. A more recent and comprehensive review and meta-analysis
of interventions to reduce Salmonella in processing plants was recently published
(Bucher et al 2012). This review drew on studies of intervention trials conducted in the
US and other countries. The authors concluded that variations in results precluded
detection of significant reductions in contamination by chilling with or without
chlorination. They further noted that as the disinfection bath is used, it accumulates
pathogens and other contaminants such that over a relatively short period of time no net
reduction in carcass contamination is accomplished.
However, the most important aspect of this issue is the complete failure of the Proposed
Rule (and in fact HACCP guidelines as well as industry practice) to evaluate pathogen
contamination after the chill/rehang step. This is demonstrated in Figure 3 (from
Northcutt and Russell 2010). Because of this, we have no information related to worker
risks of exposure to pathogens after the chill/rehang step, and in fact we have no data
on food borne contamination from this step. The standard methods for assessing
contamination control in processing plants rely on measurements taken pre and post
chill, sometimes including rehang, but prior to all the cutting, deboning, and other
activities that involve workers on the line. These are the activities that employ the bulk
of the workforce in slaughter/processing plants. Thus the data reviewed above are not
informative on the impact of line speed changes in terms of worker health safety during
the major part of their activities in slaughter/processing nor is it fully informative as to
food safety. Given the present conditions of work and lack of pathogen control during
the work day, it is clear that even if reductions in pathogen prevalence are achieved
between killing and chilling the carcass, there is ample opportunity for contamination
(which is never fully controlled, as admitted in USDA’s own studies; see above) to
persist and spread through these later stages of processing into consumer products. At
present there is relatively little published data on pathogen contamination throughout
the processing cycle. A study conducted by the French food safety authority concluded
8
Comments on USDA Proposed Rule “Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection”
that cross contamination increased over the work day at poultry slaughter plants due to
contamination of equipment, work surfaces, and process water Hue et al 2010).

Comments on USDA Proposed Rule “Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection”
In fact, USDA knows that there is extensive (re)contamination of poultry products before
they are sealed at the processing plant because of the high prevalence of pathogen
contamination in consumer products reported in published studies by US FDA and
academic researchers (including ourselves) There is also evidence for worker
exposure to pathogens on poultry products after the chiller, as evident in our study of
coincident risks of lacerations and infections in poultry workers (figure 2). Infections
were highly associated with lacerations caused by contact with the product (e.g., poultry
bones) rather than with tools or equipment, indicating the role of contaminated poultry
meat and carcasses in infectious diseases among workers.
More fundamentally, the current USDA HACCP strategy for testing pathogen control at
the pre/post chill stages gives the lie to USDA’s vaunted HACCP program of protecting
consumers “from farm to fork.” Conditions in food animal production at the farm level
are increasing these risks, rather than reducing them (Silbergeld 2008), which leaves
the processing plant as the main point of infection control. As discussed above, there is
no assessment that covers the entire processing cycle. This concept of HACCP does
not protect workers or consumers who are exposed after the chill stage and it provides
no insight to support the assumption of this Proposed Rule that line speed increases will
not affect either worker or food safety.
Because the processing plant remains a key part of USDA's vaunted HACCP program
to protect the American public -- workers and consumers – from exposure to and
infections by pathogens in the food supply, current conditions demand increased
vigilance rather than pandering to a miscalculation of benefits and costs. The
appropriate response to current conditions of worker injury and food safety is to
increase, rather than to decrease, requirements related to both and to avoid changes
that will increase risks of injury to workers and the prevalence of food borne pathogens
in the consumer food supply.
I recommend withdrawal of these proposed regulations as unsupported by
empirical data and likely to increase risks of workplace and consumer harms.
Given the many shortcomings in this proposal, I urge withdrawal. USDA should
not propose changes in the operations of poultry slaughter/processing plants
without adequate data review and research to fill critical data gaps that support
proposed changes. The available data, briefly reviewed in this comment, does
not support the changes proposed in this Proposed Rule. In addition, USDA
should undertake a thorough and competent analysis of the economic burden on
workers and consumers and not just industry and government inspection
resources . I urge USDA to commit to regulatory reform that enhances worker
and food safety:

USDA should enhance processing plant inspection and improve
workplace conditions. Conditions in US poultry processing are such that
the USDA, in concert with its sister agencies, should be taking steps in the
opposite direction from these proposals. Rates of injury and infection
10
Comments on USDA Proposed Rule “Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection”
among meat and poultry processing are the highest in any US workforce,
and they are not decreasing, according to data provided by industry to
OSHA.

USDA should maintain and increase targeted monitoring of major food
borne pathogens, such as Campylobacter and Salmonella, and
additionally add emerging good borne pathogens quickly in order to
prevent disease in workers and consumers. USDA must react to recent
information on emergence of new pathogens in the food supply in order to
prevent disease; this system should be responsive to new surveillance
data on the food supply as well as clinical/epidemiological studies of
exposures in humans, both works and consumers. USDA should sponsor
research and quickly update its methods to enhance rapid and real time
detection of pathogens throughout the processing cycle.

USDA should work with FDA in accomplishing the policy goal of restricting
use of antimicrobial drugs in food animal feeds. The prevalence of highly
pathogenic bacteria, also largely drug resistant, in the food supply is very
high as demonstrated in recent studies by FDA, USDA, and academic
research groups such as ours. .Strong temporal associations between
resistance phenotypes in E coli isolates from food animals and humans
have been reported by FDA researchers (Tadesse et al 2012) While
primary authority for this issue lies with FDA, USDA can support this
initiative by funding research on production methods that do not
incorporate these agents into feeds. USDA can also assist FDA in
monitoring drug use in the food production industry.

USDA should take immediate steps to revise guidance related to HACCP
in poultry processing plants. The present implementation does not cover
the whole slaughter/processing system and provides no information
relevant to reducing exposures of workers and consumers to pathogens.
Analyses based on current HACCP data are misleading in terms of worker
and food safety risks. HACCP-based systems must be expanded to
assess pathogen contamination during the stages of cut up, deboning,
and further processing to provide full information on worker and consumer
health risks.

USDA should address inadequacies of existing programs related to food
safety. USDA needs to review the actual efficacy of its current
requirements for tracking information on packaging. In our recent study of
meat and poultry products in Baltimore food outlets, none of the packages
we purchased contained such information. This failure probably
contributes to the finding by CDC that nearly 70% of food borne disease
outbreaks are never fully identified as to pathogen or source.


Funding of increased worker and food safety: In order to fund a more
vigorous and reliable system of food and worker safety, we suggest
adoption of the system put in place by US FDA for reviewing new drug
applications: USDA could collect license fees from all
slaughter/processing plants, pro-rated to production levels, to fund an
adequate and transparent system of outside inspection and monitoring.
