Laboratory studies to identify listeria in food product

One of the main tasks of the domestic meat industry at the present stage of development is to ensure safety for the consumer of produced meat products. It is known that in meat raw materials and products made from it, especially in violation of the technological regimes and sanitary and hygienic conditions of production, it is possible to identify microorganisms dangerous for humans - Listeria . In this regard, in the zone of European economic cooperation, as well as other developed countries (USA, Canada, Japan), the requirements for the control of pathogenic listeria in meat and meat products, the consumption of which can cause human disease, are strictly regulated. The study of food for the presence of the causative agent of listeriosis is mandatory. The problem of food listeriosis is also of significant socioeconomic importance due to the damage caused by the removal of contaminated products, the restriction of exports and imports, and the cessation of production. Laboratory studies are the basis for the prevention of foodborne diseases at all stages of the production of the food industry, which lead to health and safety of the population and the spread of microbiological infections. Taking into account the above, it was necessary to consider the existing developments in the technology of modern nutrient media to identify Listeria .
