| − | The Food Security Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has actually spoken out for much tighter controls and screening of poultry flocks to suppress the increase, which is at odds with the rest of Europe, where infection rates have stabilized, saying over 2,600 individuals got gastrointestinal disorder from campylobacter in Ireland in 2014, up 14 % on the previous year, when 2,288 cases were reported. However a brand-new European Food Safety report released at the same time discovered that the amount of cases in Europe had fallen a little for the very first time in 5 years in 2013, though with 214,779 cases, it still continues to be the leading reason for gastrointestinal disorder.

| − | The figures recorded by the Health Care Security Center in Ireland are the greatest in Europe, since campylobacteriosis had not been lawfully notifiable till 2004, requiring joint consumer and market action to handle the problem, said the FSAI director of food science Dr Wayne Anderson. He also said that the salmonella infection had also been a significant problem in Ireland 15 years previously, though market efforts to lower contamination in eggs and poultry had actually resulted in a radical decrease.

| − | Vincent Carton of the Irish Poultry Processors Association said the industry accepted the requirement for action to lower campylobacter, but the problem was discovering precisely what worked, as comprehensive efforts up until now consisting of leak-proof packaging had failed to decrease disease rates. He added... "Some nations such as Sweden, whose poultry flocks were allegedly campylobacter-free, actually had a higher rate of ailment than Ireland, so the real problem was actually having the ability to seek out the path of infection. The use of trisodium phosphate to spray poultry flocks had actually been shown to work to minimize infection, though this was restricted in Europe in spite of the European Food Safety Authority finding it was safe to use."

| − | According to Company Director Neil Speight, children are also at risk of gastrointestinal disorder from contaminated food in packed lunches. He said... "All of us truly need to understand exactly what Campylobacter is, as it can typically make us more ill than Salmonella does. Likewise, following poultry cases of gastrointestinal disorder comes the problem of packed lunch gastrointestinal disorder, with food going off prior to it's eaten when not cooled correctly. Recent reports have come out of both the United States and Australia relating to the rising cases of gastrointestinal disorder, saying how much more children were at risk, and the need for parents to pack food in a freezable lunch box, so germs wouldn't even get the possibility to develop."
