Today, the healthiness and quality requirements of food products impose specific controls along the entire production process, up to distribution and consumption. The conference will address the problem of Listeria, a ubiquitous, persistent and widespread bacterium in the environment, which can contaminate foods at any level of the production and consumption chain. Industry professionals will treat the problem from various points of view: analytical, medical, legal, food, with insights into industrial sanitization. There will also be a focus on other microorganisms responsible for foodborne infections such as Bacillus cereus and toxins. The topics covered will be of particular interest and usefulness for food sector operators who must constantly monitor contamination in order to guarantee product safety.
