Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic that infects humans when virus-containing pork products are consumed. This study aimed to explore MNV (murine norovirus) and HEV inactivation during cold smoking ripening/fermentation treatments used for salami-like sausages (mettwurst). was monitored in culture medium solution sausage while being subjected manufacturing process. The of the also at room temperature (RT) four weeks. process RT. A TCID 50 assay calculate infectious titres....
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs), a leading cause of food-borne gastroenteritis worldwide, are easily transferred via ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, often prepared by infected food handlers. In this study, the transmission HuNoV and murine norovirus (MuNoV) from virus-contaminated hands to latex gloves during gloving, as well donor surfaces recipient after simulated preparation cucumber sandwiches, was inspected. Virus transfer investigated swabbing with polyester swabs, followed nucleic acid...
A Bayesian statistical temporal‐prevalence‐concentration model (TPCM) was built to assess the prevalence and concentration of pathogenic campylobacter species in batches fresh chicken turkey meat at retail. The data set collected from Finnish grocery stores all seasons year. Observations low levels are often censored due limit determination microbiological methods. This utilized potential methods borrow strength related samples order perform under heavy censoring. In this extreme case...
A key feature of risk analysis is that assessment and management should be functionally separated. However, the usefulness a may limited if output not designed to help with decisions. The COMRISK project investigated communication between assessors managers. overall goal was identify current practices challenges in managers during process, thus increase improve understanding quality them. Specific actions achieve this aim included reviewing historical food safety cases, analysing requests,...
Abstract Several statistical models for salmonella source attribution have been presented in the literature. However, these often found to be sensitive model parameterization, as well specifics of data set used. The Bayesian here was developed generally applicable with small and sparse annual sets obtained over several years. full modularized into three parts (an exposure model, a subtype distribution an epidemiological model) order separately estimate unknown parameters each module....
BIKE is a Bayesian dietary exposure assessment model for microbiological and chemical hazards. A graphical user interface was developed running the inspecting results. It based on connected hierarchical models, utilizing OpenBUGS R in tandem. According to occurrence consumption data given as inputs, specific BUGS code automatically written background. The shiny app. Chronic acute exposures are estimated hazards, respectively. Uncertainty variability visualized, few optional structures can be...
The dietary exposure of Finnish children to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and the sum four EU marker polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH4) was estimated. In total, 154 analyzed samples literature data 82 foodstuffs were included in our estimations. Food consumption based on a cross-sectional DAGIS study, which concerned preschool (3–6 years age). Bayesian statistical model used assess PAH4 exposures from multiple food products taking into account individual variation consumption. analyte...
Abstract Fish is an important part of nutrition and well‐being. The challenge Finnish wild fish contaminants which accumulate in some species higher concentrations, partially limit the usability food/feed market weaken assessment state marine environment. aim this study was to obtain data on amounts nutrients domestic that are commercially or should be increased use according national plans. also produce information for updating recommendations. concentrations were mostly below maximum...
