Urges United States Department of Agriculture to declare Salmonella strain that causes human illness an adulterant.

AR 51 is a New Jersey Assembly Resolution urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to declare any Salmonella strain causing human illness an "adulterant" in meat, poultry, and egg products. This would require the USDA to treat such strains as unsafe in the food supply, aligning with current USDA standards for E. coli in ground beef and Salmonella in certain chicken products. The resolution does not create new laws but seeks to strengthen existing food safety policies to reduce illness risks.
