Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 15: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2021
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-27)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a generic pre-evaluation of the safety of biological agents. The QPS approach is based on an assessment of published data for ...
Hazard analysis approaches for certain small retail establishments and food donations: second scientific opinion
(Wiley, 2018-11-07)
In 2017, EFSA published a ‘simplified’ food safety management system (FSMS) for certain small retail establishments (butcher, grocer, baker, fish and ice cream shop) based on the application of prerequisite ...
Maximum levels of cross-contamination for 24 antimicrobial active substances in non-target feed. Part 5: Lincosamides: lincomycin
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-26)
The specific concentrations of lincomycin in non-target feed for food-producing animals, below which there would not be an effect on the emergence of, and/or selection for, resistance in bacteria relevant ...
Dynamics of Microbial Communities in Nitrite-Free and Nutritionally Improved Dry Fermented Sausages
(MDPI, 2023-04-21)
Dry fermented sausage innovation trends are linked to consumer preferences for clean label and sodium-reduced foods. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the formulation and production process ...
Assessing the Impact of Different Technological Strategies on the Fate of Salmonella in Chicken Dry-Fermented Sausages by Means of Challenge Testing and Predictive Models
(MDPI, 2023-02-08)
Salmonella is the main relevant pathogen in chicken dry-fermented sausages (DFS). The
safety of shelf-stable DFS must rely on the production process, which should not only prevent
growth but promote ...
Role played by the environment in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the food chain
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-06-17)
The role of food-producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in EU plant-based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) and aquaculture ...
The efficacy and safety of high-pressure processing of food
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-03-08)
High-pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal treatment in which, for microbial inactivation, foods are subjected to isostatic pressures (P) of 400–600 MPa with common holding times (t) from 1.5 to ...
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 ...
Pathogenicity assessment of Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and the public health risk posed by contamination of food with STEC
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-01-29)
The provisional molecular approach, proposed by EFSA in 2013, for the pathogenicity assessment of Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has been reviewed. Analysis of the confirmed reported human ...
