Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/2895, which amends Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 regarding Listeria monocytogenes has been published in the Official Journal of the EU. It will enter force on December 11th, 2024, and apply from 1st July 2026.
Recent European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reports had showed an increase in listeriosis cases in the EU. This regulation therefore now requires that the food safety criterion ‘Listeria monocytogenes not detected in 25 g’ applies to all foods placed on the market throughout their shelf-life where the food producer has not been able to demonstrate that the level of Listeria monocytogenes will not exceed the limit of 100 cfu/g throughout their shelf-life.
