​Mastering Listeria monitoring under stricter EU regulation

Controlling Listeria monocytogenes remains a key priority for food manufacturers, particularly with evolving EU regulations and GFSI expectations. This presentation will explore how to build an effective Environmental Monitoring Plan and how Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) can support source tracking, trend analysis, and contamination investigations. It will also highlight how hygiene control, microbiological sampling, and connected monitoring tools can strengthen verification, detect deviations earlier, and help prevent cross-contamination
