On November 20, 2024<\/strong>, the European Commission<\/strong> published Regulation (EU) 2024\/2895<\/strong>, introducing key modifications to Regulation (EC) No 2073\/2005<\/strong> to reinforce the control of Listeria monocytogenes<\/strong> in food, particularly ready-to-eat products<\/strong>. This change responds to the alarming increase in listeriosis cases in the European Union (EU)<\/strong>, which, according to the latest report from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)<\/strong>, rose by 15.9% in 2022<\/strong> compared to 2021, reaching one of the highest mortality rates in the last decade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Key Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2024\/2895<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The regulation establishes two critical criteria<\/strong> for Listeria monocytogenes<\/strong> in food:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <100 CFU\/g during the product’s shelf life:<\/strong> This criterion applies if the food operator can demonstrate, through challenge tests<\/strong> or predictive microbiology studies<\/strong>, that Listeria monocytogenes levels will not exceed this limit<\/strong> throughout the product\u2019s entire shelf life.<\/li>\n
  2. Total absence in 25g:<\/strong> If the producer cannot ensure compliance with the previous criterion<\/strong>, they must guarantee the total absence of Listeria monocytogenes in 25g of the product<\/strong>, both at the initial production stage<\/strong> and throughout its entire shelf life<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Implications for Food Producers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The reinforcement of Listeria control presents new challenges for producers, who must:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Implement rigorous verification measures:<\/strong> Conduct challenge tests<\/strong> or use predictive microbiology models<\/strong> to ensure compliance with the established limits.
      \n\u2022 Optimize storage conditions:<\/strong> Reduce product shelf life<\/strong> if compliance with the 100 CFU\/g criterion<\/strong> cannot be demonstrated.
      \n\u2022 Monitor storage temperatures:<\/strong> Store food at lower temperatures<\/strong> to slow down the growth of Listeria monocytogenes<\/strong>. For example:
      \no Lettuce:<\/strong> Stored at temperatures close to 0\u00b0C<\/strong>, Listeria growth can be up to three times slower<\/strong> compared to storage at 5\u00b0C<\/strong>.
      \no Sea bass:<\/strong> At 5\u00b0C and 7\u00b0C<\/strong>, Listeria growth accelerates up to twice as fast<\/strong> compared to storage at 2\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Refrigeration Technology Solutions to Meet the New Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      In this context, refrigeration systems play a crucial role<\/strong>. Proper temperature management<\/strong> not only extends the shelf life of food<\/strong> but also ensures compliance with food safety regulations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      At our company, we specialize in manufacturing high-efficiency refrigeration equipment<\/strong> designed to meet the needs of the food industry<\/strong>. With advanced technologies<\/strong> that ensure precise temperature control<\/strong>, our systems help:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Maintain optimal storage conditions.<\/strong>
        \n\u2022 Reduce the risk of microorganism proliferation, including Listeria monocytogenes.<\/strong>
        \n\u2022 Comply with the strict limits set by Regulation (EU) 2024\/2895.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        The implementation of Regulation (EU) 2024\/2895<\/strong> marks a milestone in strengthening food safety in Europe<\/strong>. Producers must adapt to these new requirements<\/strong> by adopting technologies that ensure strict temperature control<\/strong> and microbiological studies that support the safety of their products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        At our company, we are committed to providing refrigeration solutions<\/strong> that not only comply with current regulations<\/strong> but also contribute to protecting consumer health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
