1 Tools to fulfil the compliance with the criteria regarding Listeria monocytogenes Annie Beaufort EU-RL for Listeria monocytogenes Product Shelf-Life and Microbilogical Criteria - 17 th November 2011
2 The safety of foodstuffs is ensured by a preventive approach including: - GHP (Good Hygiene Practices) - HACCP system (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) All factors having an impact on microbiological quality must be taken into account: - the quality of raw materials - the good hygiene practices - the evolution of identified hazards during the product s shelf life. Microbiological analyses are used as a verification of the whole process.
3 Shelf-life studies must be conducted for any foodstuffs to investigate compliance with the criteria. In particular, for RTE foods able to support the growth of Listeria monocytogenes.
4 L. monocytogenes (Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria) is psychrotrophic. L. m can develop in difficult conditions. According to scientific data: temperature: -2 C ph: 4.2 a w : 0.93 L. m has considerable surface adhesion abilities. L. m can be found in many foods. It can cause listeriosis.
5 Transmitted to humans by foods. Incubation: from 2 days to 3 months (on average: 1 month). Listeriosis can cause: bacteraemia, septicaemia infections of the central nervous system maternal-foetal infections that can lead to: miscarriage premature birth infection in the newborn infant. It can cause gastroenteritis, although this is rare. Lethality is high: around 20%. Asymptomatic carriage is estimated to be between 1 and 20%.
6 Listeriosis probability has been modelised Listeriosis probability Ex: Listeriosis probability according to the susceptibility Susceptible persons Healthy persons Dose (Log cfu/g)
7 EC Regulation specifies : Shelf-life studies must be conducted for any foodstuffs to investigate compliance with the criteria. In particular, for RTE foods able to support the growth of Listeria monocytogenes.
8 A RTE food means a food that is consumed without cooking (or other processing effective in the reduction or elimination of the bacteria) by the consumer; it represents a large range including: Cheeses, butter, margarines Fruits and vegetables Biscuits, chocolate Delicatessen Pastries, bread
9 with ph 4.4 or a w 0.92 with ph 5 and a w 0.94 In practice, such RTE foods may support the growth of L. m. with a shelf-life less than 5 days frozen RTE foods In these cases, be sure that the limit of 100 cfu/g won t be exceeded. other RTE foods based on scientific justifications.
10 RTE foods of highest concern are those: that may be still contaminated by L. m at the end of the process or can be recontaminated that may support the growth of L. m. Roughly, we can estimate that L. monocytogenes can grow in RTEfoods such as: *soft and semi-soft cheeses *processed meat *seafoods *deli-type salads *sandwiches But, often, the classification of a food in the category of RTE foods that support or don t support the growth of L. monocytogenes results in a case-by-case study.
11 Limits defined for Ready-To-Eat foods (EC regulation No 2073/2005) Food category Sampling plan Limits Stage where the criterion m = M applies For RTE foods able to n support cthe growth of L.m, the limit is: 1.1 RTE foods intended for infants and RTE foods for special medical purposes 1.2 RTE foods able to support the growth of L. monocytogenes 1.3 RTE foods unable to support the growth of L. monocytogenes - absence in 25g at the plant -100 cfu/g on the market if the manufacturer is able to demonstrate that the limit will not be exceed throughout the shelf-life Abs. in 25 g Products placed on the market during their shelf-life cfu/g Products placed on the market during their shelf-life 5 0 Abs. in 25 g Before the food has left the immediate control of the food business operator who has produced cfu/g Products placed on the market during their shelf-life
12 Guidance document on L. monocytogenes shelf-life studies for RTE foods, provided by DG SANCO Technical guidance document on shelf-life studies for L. monocytogenes in RTE foods, provided by the CRL for Listeria monocytogenes

Available scientific literature and research data regarding the growth and survival characteristics of the micro-organisms of concern. Predictive microbiology Durability studies And, when necessary, When necessary: to implement laboratory tests. Challenge tests.
40 The durability study Test used to assess the growth of L. m in a food : Naturally contaminated Stored at foreseeable conditions (temperature/time) from production to consumption. It is a checking at foreseeable conditions of temperature and duration.
41 How to use durability studies? All the results may be pooled. Final result = Proportion of units exceeding 100 cfu/g at the end of the shelf-life. "n" Number of units analysed "r" Number of units 100 ufc/g "p" Estimated proportion (Confidence Interval at 95 %) 5 0 [0% - 46%] 10 0 [0% - 28%] 15 0 [0% - 21%] 20 0 [0% - 16%] 25 0 [0% - 13%] 30 0 [0% - 11%] [0% - 9.7%] 40 0 [0% -8.6%] 45 0 [0% - 7.7%] [0% - 3.8%] [0% - 2.9%]
42 Laboratory test used to assess the growth rate of a bacteria in a food: Artificially contaminated Stored at a fixed temperature. Exponential phase µ max : " daily growth rate of the bacteria". Lag phase (days)
43 How to use the µ max? D0 D1 D2 For a RTE food with a shelf-life of 10 days D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 [L. m] = 1.8 log cfu/g µ max = 0.20 d -1 at 8 C D9 D log cfu/g [L. m] = 2.4 log cfu/g 2 log cfu/g
44 Laboratory test used for the estimation of the growth of a bacteria in a food: Artificially contaminated Stored under foreseeable conditions from production to consumption. The growth potential can be used: To determine if a food permits the growth of L. m To set up the concentration of L. m at the end of the shelf life according to the concentration at the plant To set up the concentration at the production according to the limit of 100 cfu/g at the end of the shelf life.
45 How to use the growth potential (0.68 log cfu/g)? Initial concentration of L. m = 1 log cfu/g Growth potentiel (δ) = 0.68 log cfu/g + Final concentration of L. m = 1.68 log cfu/g < 2 log cfu/g
46 o EU RL for L. m has written a document listing the points to be checked to be sure that CT assessing growth potential are implemented according to the technical guidance document. o The document is named: Guidance document to evaluate the competence of laboratories implementing challenge tests on the growth potential of L. m in RTE foods " o It was written in collaboration with representatives of 12 NRLs for L. m from Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ireland, Latvia, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands.
47 o Either experts basing their opinion on documents. o Or auditors conducting audits in laboratories.
