ASEQURA | “Listeria monocytogenes”: a challenge for food safety
On 4 June 2024, a technical conference entitled “Listeria monocytogenes: a challenge for food safety” will be held. This event is part of the ASEQURA research project, whose objective is to carry out a quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) of Listeria monocytogenes in fishery products and meat derivatives, with special attention to biofilm formation and cross-contamination in processing chains. The project is funded by the 2019 call of the State R&D&I Programme Oriented to Societal Challenges of the State Research Agency (AEI).
The conference will take place in person in the Ernest Lluch Assembly Hall of the Ministry of Health / Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030 in Madrid. Registration is already closed and in-person places are full, but it can also be followed via streaming on YouTube.
The project is coordinated by Elena Carrasco Jiménez and Antonio Valero Díaz from the University of Córdoba (UCO), with the collaboration of Marta López Cabo and Juan José Rodríguez Herrera from the MicroTec group at the Institute of Marine Research – CSIC.
The event is aimed at different interested stakeholders, including health inspectors from the autonomous communities, sector companies, academics and other professionals related to food safety. It seeks to present the main results of the ASEQURA project and foster dialogue and constructive discussion to advance the control of Listeria monocytogenes in the food value chain.
In addition, the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) participates as co-organiser of the event, thanks to the collaboration of the Risk Assessment Area, the Secretariat of the Scientific Committee and the National Food Centre (CNA).
