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....
Yersinia enterocolitica and pseudotuberculosis are important zoonotic bacteria causing human enteric yersiniosis commonly reported in Europe. All Y. strains considered pathogenic, while include both pathogenic nonpathogenic which can be divided into six biotypes (1A, 1B, 2-5) about 30 serotypes. The most common types Europe bioserotypes 4/O:3 2/O:9. Strains belonging to biotype 1A as because they missing virulence genes like the attachment-invasion-locus (ail) gene chromosome plasmid. role...
SUMMARY Occurrence of Yersinia spp. in wild ruminants was studied and the strains were characterized to get more information on epidemiology enteropathogenic wildlife. In total, faecal samples 77 red deer, 60 chamois, 55 roe deer 27 alpine ibex collected during 3 months hunting season 2011. The most frequently identified species Y. enterocolitica found 13%, 10%, 4% 2% respectively. Interestingly, one O:3 strain, isolated from an ibex, carried important virulence genes located plasmid ( yad A...
Risk analysis is a structured approach comprising risk assessment, management and communication, where the latter includes communication between assessors managers. In recent decades there has been shift in paradigm from “strict separation of assessment management” to model dialogue an integral part process. However, as REFIT evaluation concluded, still need for closer cooperation coordination. The goals ENCOMRAN project were (i) capture describe interactions within food feed at EU Member...

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 Animal by‐products are whole dead animals, parts of them and products obtained from that not used for human consumption. Legislation related to the utilization disposal animal was revised beginning 2023, which limited fish‐derived by burying or delivering a landfill in some Finland. The aim this risk assessment report is describe practices followed remote non‐remote areas assess possible disease humans animals arising fish horse slaughtering as well cutting plants. risks using...
