Listeria monocytogenes in refrigerated foods, 2nd Informatory note on refrigeration and food.

Type of article: Informatory note

Summary

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacteria that can cause a serious disease known as "listeriosis". Until the early 1980's it was believed that listeriosis in man was contracted from contact with infected animals. However, during the 1980's several foodborne outbreaks of listeriosis were reported. It is now recognised, in the food safety context, that the presence and growth of L. monocytogenes must be taken into consideration during the production, storage and distribution of foods. The occurrence of L. monocytogenes is an international problem.
