Should Salmonella Typhimurium vaccination be mandatory?
As mentioned above, the Lion Code has been amended. This has been done well in advance of the legislation coming into force, both to prepare producers for what lies ahead, and also to retain full consumer confidence in the Code by continuing to guarantee the most stringent standards of Quality Assurance. Additional requirements of the revised Code include the taking of dust and rodent faeces samples. It does not, however, make vaccination against Salmonella Typhimurium mandatory, although the Lion Code does encourage its use.
