(Wiley Open Access, 2024-04-22)
Surveillance data published since 2010, although limited, showed that there is no evidence of zoonotic parasite infection in market quality Atlantic salmon, marine rainbow trout, gilthead seabream, ...
Genomic insights of Salmonella isolated from dry fermented sausage production chains in Spain and France
(Nature Research, 2024-05-22)
The presence of Salmonella in dry fermented sausages is source of recalls and outbreaks. The genomic diversity of 173 Salmonella isolates from the dry fermented sausage production chains (pig carcasses, ...
Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 19: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2023
(Wiley Open Access, 2024-01-11)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a safety assessment approach for microorganisms intended for use in food or feed chains. The QPS approach is based on an ...

(MDPI, 2024-06-20)
Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of listeriosis, is a relevant pathogen in dry fermented
sausages (DFSs), and the application of antilisterial starter cultures is an effective intervention
strategy ...
Swine farm environmental microbiome: exploring microbial ecology and functionality across farms with high and low sanitary status
(Frontiers Media, 2024-07-03)
Stringent regulations in pig farming, such as antibiotic control and the ban on certain additives and disinfectants, complicate disease control efforts. Despite the evolution of microbial communities ...
The Gamma concept approach as a tool to predict fresh produce supporting or not the growth of L. monocytogenes
(Elsevier, 2024-04-27)
Challenge tests are commonly employed to evaluate the growth behavior of L. monocytogenes in food matrices;
they are known for being expensive and time-consuming. An alternative could be the use of ...
Effect of pH and temperature on tropane alkaloids within a processing strategy to provide safe infant cereal-based food
(Elsevier, 2024-05-06)
Tropane alkaloids (TAs) are secondary metabolites from weeds that can contaminate cereals and vegetables during harvest. Due to their toxicity, the Regulation (EC) 2023/915 sets maximum levels for ...
