Use of risk assessment and predictive microbiology in regulatory science related to the scientific opinions of the EFSA BIOHAZ Panel
(Elsevier, 2023-06-25)
EFSA's Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ Panel) deals with questions on biological hazards relating to food safety and food-borne diseases. This covers food-borne zoonoses, transmissible spongiform ...
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, ...
Growth and Non-Thermal Inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus in Sliced Dry-Cured Ham in Relation to Water Activity, Packaging Type and Storage Temperature
(MDPI, 2023-05-30)
Dry-cured ham (DCH) could support the growth of Staphylococcus aureus as a halotolerant bacterium, which may compromise the shelf-stability of the product according to the growth/no growth boundary ...
New insights on Listeria monocytogenes growth in pressurised cooked ham: A piezo-stimulation effect enhanced by organic acids during storage
(Elsevier, 2018-10-06)
The aim of the present study was to understand growth and survival responses of Listeria monocytogenes during the storage of high pressure processed (HPP) cooked ham formulated with organic acids to ...
Enhanced high hydrostatic pressure lethality in acidulated raw pet food formulations was pathogen species and strain dependent
(Elsevier, 2022-02-07)
Feeding dogs and cats with raw meat-based pet food is taking relevance in the recent years. The high aw of these products together with the no cooking before its consumption by the animal pose a risk ...
Statement on how to interpret the QPS qualification on ‘acquired antimicrobial resistance genes’
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-10-31)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a regularly updated generic pre-evaluation of the safety of microorganisms intended for use in the food or feed chains. Safety ...
Public health risks associated with food‐borne parasites
(EFSA Journal, 2018-12-04)
Parasites are important food‐borne pathogens. Their complex lifecycles, varied transmission routes, and prolonged periods between infection and symptoms mean that the public health burden and relative ...
Evaluation of alternative methods of tunnel composting (submitted by the European Composting Network) II
(Wiley Open Access, 2024-04-26)
Two alternative methods for producing compost in a tunnel, from certain category (Cat.) 3 animal by-products (ABP) and other non-ABP material, were assessed. The first method proposed a minimum temperature ...
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 ...
High-pressure processing inactivation of Salmonella in raw pet food for dog is enhanced by acidulation with lactic acid
(Elsevier, 2022-06-03)
Raw pet food market is growing at rapid rate due to the raising perception as a natural option and the potential health benefits. However, raw pet food also may pose health concerns due to the occurrence ...
