ISO 11290-1: Listeria monocytogenes Screening and Food Safety

Horizontal method for the detection and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp.

What is Listeria monocytogenes?

Listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that can survive in cold environments. It can often be foundin chilled and processed food products (e.g. cheese, smoked meat, ready meals). People can consume food contaminated with this bacteria and infection can lead to the disease Listeriosis. This disease can lead to health problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, muscle aches and, in more serious cases, meningitis. Therefore, the detection of Listeria monocytogenesis vital for food safety.

Importance of ISO 11290-1 Standard

ISO 11290-1 enables food manufacturers to quickly and accurately detect the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a critical step to protect public health, prevent foodborne illness and comply with regulatory requirements. Implementation of the standard prevents potential outbreaks by identifying the presence of the bacteria, particularly in high-risk products such as ready-to-eat food, dairy, meats and seafood.

Importance of Listeria Detection with ISO 11290-1

The ISO 11290-1 standard is the gold standard for detecting the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the food industry. It is important for food manufacturers to monitor for the presence of this bacterium, especially in high-risk products such as prepared foods, dairy and meat products. Early detection improves the safety of food products and protects public health. It also helps food manufacturers comply with food safety laws.

ISO 11290-1 is a basic standard for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food samples. This test, which is of great importance for food safety, detects the presence of the bacterium and prevents serious health problems. Implementation of this standard supports food manufacturers to produce healthy and safe products and helps to fulfill regulatory requirements.
