In 2022 in France, C. perfringens food poisoning outbreaks (FPOs) were associated with meat consumption in 10% of cases. Pigs can carry C. perfringens in their digestive tract. Meat can thus be contaminated during the slaughtering process, in the event of evisceration incidents.
The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of isolation of C. perfringens from carcasses and feces at slaughterhouses, and to characterize the toxinotype of the strains isolated.
