Abstract

Infections caused by bacteria originating from tainted food sources are a widespread concern due to their large economic impact and detrimental effects on public health. We aimed to explore literature focusing on the presence of Salmonella in the food supply chains of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and to provide an overview of available information concerning health-related issues and the status of salmonellosis in humans in GCC countries. The reviewed evidence underscored a gap in our comprehensive understanding of the prevalence of Salmonella in the food supply of GCC countries. Molecular characterization efforts to pinpoint the sources of Salmonella in these nations were limited. Surveys targeting Salmonella in the food supply of GCC countries have been infrequent. While qualitative data indicated the presence or absence of Salmonella, there was a noticeable lack of quantitative data detailing the actual quantities of these bacteria in chicken meat supplies across GCC countries. Although reports regarding Salmonella in animal-derived foods were common, the literature highlighted in this review emphasized the persistent challenge that Salmonella pose to food safety and public health in GCC countries. Addressing this issue requires concerted efforts to enhance surveillance, improve control measures, and promote greater awareness among stakeholders in the food supply chain.
