Detection of Listeria monocytogenes in tuna carpaccio

Listeria monocytogenes was detected in a tuna carpaccio.

Listeria are widely distributed in the environment and can contaminate food at various stages of production and processing. Foods of animal origin are particularly affected. Subsequent contamination of both animal and plant foods can also occur due to inadequate hygiene measures during processing, such as poor personal hygiene or insufficiently cleaned machines and equipment.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe gastrointestinal illnesses and flu-like symptoms. Certain groups of people, particularly infants, young children, pregnant women, and elderly or immunocompromised individuals, have an increased risk of severe disease progression.

BAV Institute regularly conducts tests for Listeria monocytogenes and other microbiological analyses. We offer you fast, reliable, and scientifically sound results.
