How Multinational Data-Sharing, WGS Solved a Foodborne Illness Outbreak

January 20, 2023

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CIFA) recently provided insight into how whole genome sequencing (WGS) and international data-sharing helped trace a 2020 multinational food safety outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes to enoki mushrooms, enabling countries to rapidly recall the affected products.

Should Nuts and Low-Moisture Foods Consider a New Sampling Approach?

Eric Wilhelmsen, Ph.D., C.F.S.
January 17, 2023

A pervasive trend exists to take larger and more frequent samples to address microbial contamination. This trend has touched almonds and is expected to hit other nut products, which can be considered for aggregated sampling as a solution.

Simulation of Sampling Strategies for Food Safety: A New Tool for Improved Sampling Performance

One solution to sampling problems is to maximize the power of sampling plans to detect target hazards at explicitly defined risk levels
Ruben A. Chavez Ph.D., Matthew Stasiewicz Ph.D.
December 11, 2022

Food safety sampling and testing strategies must seek ways to adapt food safety plans that reflect the reality of contamination to improve hazard detection and ultimately help ensure that food is safe for consumers. One solution is to maximize the power of sampling plans to detect target hazards present at explicitly defined risk levels—prevalence, level, and/or distribution. This would allow food safety professionals to better manage risk in their specific system.

Determining Sanitation Effectiveness with a Robust Environmental Monitoring Program

A PEM program should test for a mix of indicator organisms and a mix of pathogens based on product susceptibility and risk
Janna Hamlett, Ph.D.
December 11, 2022

Many methods are available for verifying the viability of a sanitation program, and most facilities use a combination of different methods to ensure that the sanitation program is performing as expected. Pathogen environmental monitoring (PEM) programs are a key prerequisite program to a sanitation program and to any facility's overall food safety program. There is no one-size-fits-all PEM program for facilities; rather, a PEM program is based on a facility's risk factors and what product(s) the facility manufactures.
