INTRODUCTION

In the European Union, Regulation (CE) No 2073/2005 demands that Listeria monocytogenes remains undetected in cheese varieties allowing its growth, before sales by the manufacturer. A threshold value of 100 cfu/g is tolerated at this step in cheeses not suitable for the growth of this pathogen. Defining more accurately cheese varieties allowing or not the development of L. monocytogenes is thus a priority, especially to avoid unnecessary economic losses for producers. Predictive microbiology software could be used for this purpose, but available models are only based on data acquired through in vitro studies, not taking into account matrix effect. As a result, predictions are generally too pessimistic. Currently, challenge studies, involving the artificial inoculation of the pathogen in cheese, remain a more appropriate method to assess the growth of L. monocytogenes in food.

OBJECTIVES

The goal of this investigation was to perform challenge studies in order to provide knowledge on the growth potential (δ) of L. monocytogenes in several varieties of artisanal cheeses manufactured in Belgium. Only cheeses produced in dairy farms were considered. δ obtained using three methods of calculation were compared.

SAMPLING

Each batch was

composed of 12

cheeses. Using a

syringe, a cocktail of 3

strains of L.

monocytogenes isolated from dairy products was inoculated in 6 samples/batch. Other 6 samples were used as controls. Day 0 (D0) 8±1°C Microbiological enumerations† and physicochemical analyses* on the remaining samples. Calculation of δ‡ Microbiological enumerations

and physicochemical analyses* on 3 controls and 3 samples.
