    2026-10-06 15:00 2026-10-06 15:45 Europe/Madrid ​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 Speakers' Corner

    Biofilms: The Enemy We Cannot See

    Irene Ylla
    Irene Ylla Biologist and PhD in Limnology Speaker

    2026-10-06 12:00 2026-10-06 12:20 Europe/Madrid Biofilms: The Enemy We Cannot See Biofilms are communities of microorganisms attached to surfaces and protected by an extracellular matrix that makes them difficult to remove. In the food industry, moisture, nutrients and surfaces favour their development, and they can become a persistent source of contamination and pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and E. coli.Traditional cleaning and disinfection methods may have limitations when it comes to eliminating them, and their detection requires specific tools. Their control requires adapted strategies to detect, eliminate and prevent biofilms, which is key to ensuring food safety. Innovation Room

Innovation, Regulation and Consumer Trust The challenge is not simply to innovate, but to ensure that innovation, regulation, health, the economy, sustainability and consumer expectations move forward coherently within the food system (packaging, ultra-processed foods, GLP-1, health, sustainability, new technologies, prices, etc.). Through an interdisciplinary dialogue involving representatives from the production sector, innovation, distribution and consumers, the session will explore how scientific innovation and technology can today be aligned with effective legislation that protects consumers, ensures economic and industrial sustainability, and maintains society’s trust.
