What is the risk of Listeria Monocytogenes poisoning?
“The disease is characterised by a long incubation period lasting on average from 2 to 4 weeks, sometimes symptoms of the disease are visible 3 months after consumption of contaminated food. L. monocytogenes is isolated from meat and meat products (including fermented raw sausages), fish and fish products ( including cold-smoked salmon), seafood, milk and dairy products (mainly including soft cheeses made from raw milk), ice cream, raw vegetables and fruit (fresh, sliced, frozen).
Monocytogenes has the ability to multiply in food under refrigerated conditions. At 4 ° C, the growth of these microorganisms is much slower than at 37 ° C, but after 1-2 days the population size doubles. L. monocytogenes can also be found in food industry plants, inhabiting the surfaces of various materials and devices (bacterial biofilm). If biofilms are created, the complete elimination of L. monocytogenes from the production environment is extremely difficult, ” the website of the National Centre for Food Education says.
