Abstract
According to World Health Organization, unsafe food contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances, causes more than 200 diseases. Annually, around 2 million people died by the consequences of food- and waterborne diseases. Foodborne diseases are a threat for the socioeconomic development of the regions, straining health care systems, leading to malnutrition particularly in infants, children, elderly and immune-compromised people. Globalization has triggered growing consumer demand for a wider variety of foods, resulting in an increasingly complex food chain. In addition, changes in consumer habits have increased the number of people consuming ready-to-eat food products, increasing the risk of contaminated food with Listeria monocytogenes.
