Rapid, specific detection of Listeria monocytogenes by antibody-based techniques and on-line sensor technology; development of improved control of food safety for industry and the consumer

The overal objective of this project is to develope rapid, specific test methods for the detection of Listeria in foods, with the aim of introducing appropriate quality control into food production processes of the CCE partners. This will lead to improved food safety, greater consumer confidence in the industry and will meet the requirement of EU legislation, thus allowing export to EU countries.The methodology based on antibodies specific against Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii is appropriate to quality control system within EU countries, and could well be introduced to producers there, with considerable benefit. The partners in the project are based in four countries and have collaborated also previously on various EU-funded projects.
