    本次指南草案的发布有助食品生产企业、加工企业、包装企业以及贮藏企业更好地防控李斯特菌。

 

    部分原文报道如下：

 

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is releasing an updated draft guidance, “Control of Listeria monocytogenes in Ready-To-Eat Foods,” which supports ongoing efforts by industry and government agencies to reduce the risk of Listeria monocytogenes （L. mono） in ready-to-eat （RTE） foods. L. mono, a pathogen that can grow even in cold, refrigerated environments, is particularly harmful to the elderly, pregnant women and/or their pregnancy, and those who are immunocompromised.

 

    The emphasis on prevention in this draft guidance is consistent with the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act （FSMA） and reflects the FDA's current good manufacturing practice （CGMP） requirements, as well as new requirements for hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls, including verification of preventive controls.
