Recent cases demonstrate that listeria prevention remains a challenge in the food industry, particularly in companies that process raw materials of animal origin.
IFS and QS have jointly produced the guide "Listeria prevention for slaughtering, deboning and processing" to support companies assessed against their standards with practical guidance and advice on this topic.
The document particularly offers meat processing companies assistance in the systematic evaluation of products, processes and structural conditions and in the introduction of suitable preventive measures.
In addition, the document provides recommendations for action regarding sampling, analysis and evaluation of results.
Practical examples show what actions can be taken in case of positive outcomes or identified risks.
