Abstract

E. coli O157:H7 bacterium is a risk to public health worldwide, involved in outbreaks of hemorrhagic colitis, some of which include deaths caused by hemolytic uremic syndrome. Cattle are the main reservoir of E. coli. Accord- ing with CONPES 3376 about bovine meat and milk sanitary policy in Colombia, only 1% of all 1311 beneficiation plants in the country meet the sanitary and environmental requirements. The USDA’s Authority to Recall Meat and Poultry Products in USA classifies E. coli O157:H7 as type 1 pathogen, because its presence in raw meat products would cause problems to consumers health. In Colombia, the decree 1500 of 2007 establishes that all beneficiation plants must carry a pathogens control plan based in microbiological risks and supported in risks evaluation.
