Combat contre les pathogènes : une approche paneuropéenne pour améliorer la qualité et la sécurité des produits carnés réfrigérés.

Pathogen combat: a pan-European approach to improve food quality and safety in chilled meat products.

Auteurs : BRAUN S.

Résumé

Despite significant investment, the incidence of food derived disease is still too high in the EU. With the full title "Control and prevention of emerging and future pathogens at cellular and molecular level throughout the food chain" - the EU funded project 'PathogenCombat' attacks this pan-European problem to reduce the incidence of food borne disease and to assure quality and safety of European food products. Besides being of fundamental importance to the consumer, fighting pathogens is also of imperative significance to the food industry and economy, as impact on trade and competitiveness is substantial. A range of advanced platforms, of which several are used for the first time in food safety studies, are developed to investigate the survival of pathogens in chilled meat products. The emphasis lies on novel detection methods, hygienic design, new cleaning and disinfection methods, and new applications of protective and probiotic cultures. With the platforms in operation, it is a key goal of the project to implement the developed state-of-the-art research results within the food industry, especially in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). A general strategy for the improved transfer of knowledge is developed to ensure a European-wide dissemination of novel research in the field of food safety. These measures aim at improving the competitiveness of European SMEs in the food sector - not only for the benefit of the industry, but for all consumers for a safer and healthier food.
