The danger of the Listeria monocytogenes associated disease Listeriosis is real, with a high fatality rate of up to 30% among risk groups. These outbreaks are usually caused by a variety of food, including soft cheese, delicatessen meats and vegetable products.

Listeria monocytogenes is found widely in soil, water and livestock environments. It is not a question of whether it will enter a food factory or not, much rather a question of when. If it does, there is a high risk it can persist in the factory environment as this pathogen is very robust, growing even at 4°C or in high salt concentrations.

There is an increasing awareness in the food industry for the lack of reliability provided by the mere examination of end products. Only testing final products means to accept an incrementing risk of product contamination.

Environmental monitoring helps to detect risk hot spots early and adapt hygiene measures in order to eliminate Listeria monocytogenes before they can get into the product or establish themselves as permanent residents of your factory. Thus, avoiding expensive recalls and reputation damage.
