Pathogens-in-Foods (PIF): An open-access European database of occurrence data o...
Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Faria, Ana Sofia; Thebault, Anne; Guillier, Laurent; Mendes, Lucas Ribeiro; Silva, Lucas Ribeiro; Messens, Winy; Kooh, PaulineThe collection of occurrence data of foodborne pathogens in foods faces the hindrances of dispersion of information, lack of standardisation and harmonisation, and ultimately, high expenditure in time and resources. The Pathogens-in-Foods (PIF) database was conceived as a solution to centralise published data on prevalence and concentration of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites occurring in foods, obtai...

Guillier, Laurent; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Pouillot, Régis; Mota, Juliana De Oliveira; Allende, Ana; Kovacevic, Jovana; Guldimann, ClaudiaThis study introduces a farm-to-fork quantitative risk assessment (QRA) model for invasive listeriosis from ready-to-eat diced cantaloupe. The modular model comprises seven stages-preharvest (soil and irrigation contamination), harvest (cross-contamination and survival), pre-processing (brushing), processing (flume tank washing, dicing and equipment cross-contamination), lot testing, cold-chain transport and re...
A Critical Review of Risk Assessment Models for Listeria monocytogenes in Seafood
Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Cadavez, Vasco; Mota, Juliana de Oliveira; Guillier, Laurent; Sanaa, MoezInvasive listeriosis, due to its severe nature in susceptible populations, has been the focus of many quantitative risk assessment (QRA) models aiming to provide a valuable guide in future risk management efforts. A review of the published QRA models of Listeria monocytogenes in seafood was performed, with the objective of appraising the effectiveness of the control strategies at different points along the food...

Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Cadavez, Vasco; Mota, Juliana de Oliveira; Guillier, Laurent; Sanaa, MoezA review of the published quantitative risk assessment (QRA) models of L. monocytogenes in meat and meat products was performed, with the objective of appraising the intervention strategies deemed suitable for implementation along the food chain as well as their relative effectiveness. A systematic review retrieved 23 QRA models; most of them (87%) focused on ready-to-eat meat products and the majority (78%) al...
A Quantitative Risk Assessment Model for Listeria monocytogenes in Ready-to-Eat...
Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Pouillot, Régis; Skjerdal, Taran; Carrasco, Elena; Teixeira, Paula; Stasiewicz, Matthew J.; Hasegawa, AkioThis study introduces a quantitative risk assessment (QRA) model aimed at evaluating the risk of invasive listeriosis linked to the consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked and gravad fish. The QRA model, based on published data, simulates the production process from fish harvest through to consumer intake, specifically focusing on smoked brine-injected, smoked dry-salted, and gravad fish. In a reference scenar...
A Quantitative Risk Assessment Model for Listeria monocytogenes in Non-Ready-to...
Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Pouillot, Régis; Mota, Juliana de Oliveira; Hasegawa, Akio; Allende, Ana; Dong, Qingli; Stasiewicz, Matthew J.A quantitative risk assessment (QRA) model was developed to evaluate the risk of invasive listeriosis from the consumption of non-ready-to-eat (non-RTE) frozen vegetables. On a lot basis, the QRA model simulates Listeria monocytogenes concentration and prevalence in a “Processing module” that comprises blanching, potential recontamination and packaging, any post-packaging inactivation treatment, and within-lot ...
Updated Parameters for Listeria monocytogenes Dose–Response Model Considering P...
Pouillot, Régis; Kiermeier, Andreas; Guillier, Laurent; Cadavez, Vasco; Sanaa, MoezBetter knowledge regarding the Listeria monocytogenes dose-response (DR) model is needed to refine the assessment of the risk of foodborne listeriosis. In 2018, the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) derived a lognormal Poisson DR model for 14 different age-sex sub-groups, marginally to strain virulence. In the present study, new sets of parameters are developed by integrating the EFSA model for these sub-group...
A Critical Review of Risk Assessment Models for Listeria monocytogenes in Produce
Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Cadavez, Vasco; Mota, Juliana de Oliveira; Guillier, Laurent; Sanaa, MoezA review of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) models of Listeria monocytogenes in produce was carried out, with the objective of appraising and contrasting the effectiveness of the control strategies placed along the food chains. Despite nine of the thirteen QRA models recovered being focused on fresh or RTE leafy greens, none of them represented important factors or sources of contamination in the primary pro...

Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Cadavez, Vasco; Guillier, Laurent; Sanaa, MoezA review of the published quantitative risk assessment (QRA) models of L. monocytogenes in dairy products was undertaken in order to identify and appraise the relative effectiveness of control measures and intervention strategies implemented at primary production, processing, retail, and consumer practices. A systematic literature search retrieved 18 QRA models, most of them (9) investigated raw and pasteurized...
