PORK SUPPLY CHAIN, CONSUMPTION AND RISK FACTORS FOR INFECTIONS OF CONSUMERS IN THE ABIDJAN DISTRICT (CÔTE D'IVOIRE)

The ban on the consumption of game throughout Côte d'Ivoire by the emergence of Ebola haemorrhagic fever prompted consumers to turn to other sources of animal protein, such as pork. There is more frequent consumption of pork in more urban areas. It is in this context that a transversal and retr...

Pork meat and pork products supply chain for marketing were revealed. Of the 3,200 people surveyed, 2,400 (75%) reported being consumers of pork at home and out-ofhome. Pork was consumed smoked, fried and fresh cooked in sauce at home. Thus, male (63.6%) and female (44.9%) have a preference for smoked pork at home. Out-of-home, baked pork was the most consumed by women (41.3%). Consumers reported some infections of pork after consumption. Symptoms such as diarrhea was more common in men (47.9%) followed by abdominal pain (22.8%), fever (21.1%) and vomiting (2.5%). Thus, the conditions of transport, hygiene and the mode of consumption and handling of pork observed during the investigation could constitute risk factors for infections in the Abidjan District. Therefore, good hygiene practices in the processing of pork from farm to slaughter, transport, marketing and consumption can decrease the risk of infection. So, the best means of preventing the risk for pork consumers remains the compliance with good hygiene practices.Koua ATOBLAEdwige Essoma AKOACarole Aya BONNYAdjehi DADIÉGermain Tago KAROUSebastien NIAMKEStefan cel Mare University of SuceavaarticlePork consumptionsupplyenvironmental infection risksgood hygienepublic healthFood processing and manufactureTP368-456ENFood and Environment Safety, Vol 17, Iss 1, Pp 20-31 (2018)
