Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most challenging and persistent pathogens in the food chain. To support companies in the agri-food sector in their control and prevention efforts, a new free e-book has been launched, bringing together practical guidelines, up-to-date scientific knowledge and operational tools to strengthen food safety and reduce risks to public health.
The e-book ‘Listeria monocytogenes: Identification, Control and Prevention in the Food Industry’ is the result of a collaboration between Colab4Food and its partners - the Faculty of Biotechnology of the Unirsidade Católica Portuguesa (ESB-UCP) and the National Institute for Agricultural and Veterinary Research (INIAV), a partnership that has brought together scientific and technological expertise within the GenoPheno4Trait project.
This e-book presents, in a practical and accessible way:
- What L. monocytogenes is;
- how to implement effective control and sanitation measures;
- how to prevent its presence through robust food safety management strategies.
By bringing together technical guidance and up-to-date content, the publication seeks to strengthen companies' ability to minimise risks, comply with legal requirements and promote safer production environments.
