Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 11: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2019
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-02-03)
Qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a generic safety evaluation for biological agents to support EFSA's Scientific Panels. The taxonomic identity, body of knowledge, safety ...
Maximum levels of cross-contamination for 24 antimicrobial active substances in non-target feed. Part 1: Methodology, general data gaps and uncertainties
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-26)
The European Commission requested EFSA to assess, in collaboration with EMA, the specific concentrations of antimicrobials resulting from cross-contamination in non-target feed for food-producing animals ...
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 ...
Potential BSE risk posed by the use of ruminant collagen and gelatine in feed for non‐ruminant farmed animals
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-10-28)
EFSA was requested to estimate the cattle bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk (C‐, L‐ and H‐BSE) posed by ruminant collagen and gelatine produced from raw material fit for human consumption, or ...
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 ...
Maximum levels of cross-contamination for 24 antimicrobial active substances in non-target feed. Part 3: Amprolium
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-26)
The specific concentrations of amprolium 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 ...
Microbiological safety of aged meat
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-01-19)
The impact of dry-ageing of beef and wet-ageing of beef, pork and lamb on microbiological hazards and spoilage bacteria was examined and current practices are described. As ‘standard fresh’ and wet-aged ...
Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 12: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2020
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-07-02)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a generic safety evaluation for biological agents to support EFSA's Scientific Panels. It is based on an assessment of the taxonomic ...
Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 13: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2020
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-01-28)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a regularly updated generic pre-evaluation of the safety of biological agents, intended for addition to food or feed, to support ...
Challenges and opportunities related to the use of innovative modelling approaches and tools for microbiological food safety management
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)
Modelling in food microbiology has become an indispensable approach in food safety to generate predictions about the microbial behaviour. One of its weaknesses is the lack of reliable and relevant data ...
