据美国食品安全新闻网消息，早在2011年，美国公益科学中心便向美国农业部提议，将耐药沙门氏菌划归有害物，受近期大范围的沙门氏菌疫情推动，该提议再次被提上议程。按照该项提议，如果肉品检出耐药沙门氏菌，那么应该启动产品召回。
部分原文报道如下：
The outbreak of Salmonella linked to Foster Farms chicken products has some consumer advocates talking again about a petition filed in 2011 by the Center for Science in the Public Interest asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to declare antibiotic-resistant Salmonella an adulterant. Doing so would allow the agency to recall meat based simply on tests.
"If tests showed that the meat tested positive for antibiotic-resistant Salmonella, that would be enough to trigger a recall," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, CSPI's director of the food safety program. "Right now, they're saying they can't recall the Foster Farms products because they don't have specific evidence linking an individual who got sick to a package that contains both a lot number and date information that would allow them to track it back to a specific product coming back to the plant."
