A recent study assessed the presence and persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in Danish ready-to-eat (RTE) food production environments to evaluate the efficacy of a government campaign to raise awareness about L. monocytogenes. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis was also performed during the study to characterize the isolates.
Results of the study indicated the limited effect of the awareness campaign, as well as the need to address various factors driving the persistence of L. monocytogenes in Danish RTE food production environments.
