A survey in Northern Ireland has revealed gaps in knowledge relating to some parts of European Listeria regulation but good compliance with control measures.
Ready-to-eat (RTE) food manufacturers were surveyed on their level of awareness of European regulation 2073/2005, which requires businesses to take measures in their production environments and to sample these areas and associated food products to ensure they are free from Listeria monocytogenes. The survey had 26 questions.
