Listeria, Listeriosis, and Food Safety

Since the second edition of Listeria, Listeriosis, and Food Safety was published in 1999, the United States has seen a 40 percent decline in the incidence of listeriosis, with the current rate of illness now below the 2010 target of 2.5 cases per million. Research on this foodborne pathogen, however, has continued unabated, concentrating in the last five years on establishing risk assessments to focus limited financial resources on certain high-risk foods including delicatessen meats and soft cheeses.Ryser, Elliot T. is the author of 'Listeria, Listeriosis, and Food Safety' with ISBN 9780824784805 and ISBN 0824784804.
