Sažetak
Listeria monocytogenes is almost 100 % foodborne pathogen. In the European Union in 2022, out of 2738 confirmed cases of human listeriosis, 1330 resulted in hospitalization and 286 in death. The occurrence of Listeria in slaughterhouses and the meat industry is caused by the presence of Listeria in the environment and animals, i.e. raw materials, its ability to survive in many adverse conditions, and its retention on poorly designed and/or inadequately cleaned and disinfected equipment. To minimize the occurrence of Listeria in the distributed products and the risk to consumers when consuming ready to-eat food without thermal processing, comprehensive implementation of Listeria control measures is necessary. These measures include epidemiological control in live animals before arrival at the slaughterhouse, and in the slaughterhouse a comprehensive approach from the design of equipment that must be able to be easily and completely cleaned and disinfected to prerequisite programmes and a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point plan that guarantee good methods and practices in cleaning and disinfection, as well as their control.
