How to meet an FSO: control Listeria monocytogenes in the smoked fish industry?

Author(s) : GRAM L.

Summary

The article discusses options for controlling Listeria monocytogenes contamination and growth in cold-smoked fish processing. It arrives at a suggested value for a so-called food safety objective (FSO) by referring to national and international quantitative risk assessments as well as earlier studies of prevalence and growth of the bacteria. Especially process-contamination and growth during storage are issues that must be dealt with to control the organism, as current day processing does not include a critical control point. Finally, possible product criteria (chemical or microbiological criteria) are outlined.
