Summary

Researchers from the DTU National Food Institute are proposing a new labeling scheme designed to give consumers a better opportunity to choose ready-to-eat foods, such as smoked salmon and spiced pork roll, without risking infection with Listeria bacteria. Listeria accounts for approximately 32% of all deaths associated with foodborne disease outbreaks in the EU. The infection poses a particular risk to older people, those with underlying health conditions and other vulnerable groups, as well as pregnant women.
