Modelling Listeria monocytogenes contamination and application of the resilience concept in the soft cheese supply chain

Key Points

• Contamination levels of Listeria monocytogenes were effectively modeled across the supply chain of soft cheese, revealing critical control points.
• The risk assessment identified significant resilience opportunities, aimed at decreasing contamination risks during production and distribution.
• Analysis involved comprehensive data from soft cheese production processes, enabling tailored recommendations for food safety.
• Results underscore the importance of resilience in managing foodborne pathogens, especially in soft cheese products.
