Load of Candida albicans in raw chicken and mutton meat

Keshab Prasad Sharma and Utpal Kumar Chattopadhyay

Meat is one of the relished food items because of its great taste and nutritive values. Poultry meat protein contains amino acids essential for health. Animal proteins are naturally occurring as well as are complete proteins. Meat is a good source of heme iron which helps to prevent anaemia and are only natural source of Vitamin B12 which helps in proper nervous system functioning. Lack of scientific butcher houses in most part of India, makes this favourite food item more vulnerable to pathogenic organisms. Candida albicans is isolated from raw chicken and mutton meat samples and presence of this organism can cause serious health hazards to human. Improper and faulty storage of raw meat as well as consumption of under-processed/undercooked meat possess a possible health risk for consumers. Meat Handlers and consumers need awareness about the meat borne diseases, hazardous impact on human health and its prevention and control measures.
