First, the producer must demonstrate that the pathogen will not exceed the limit of 100 CFU\/g (colony-forming units per gram) during the product\u2019s shelf life or, in the absence of such evidence, guarantee its absence\u2014that is, ensure it is not detected before the food leaves the manufacturer\u2019s control. The main change is that this second criterion is being tightened. <strong>If the producer cannot scientifically prove that the bacteria will remain below the permitted threshold, they must ensure its non-detection (&lt; 1 cfu in 25g) not only at the factory, but throughout the product\u2019s shelf life on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Product responsibility no longer ends at the factory gate, but extends throughout the product\u2019s entire lifecycle to ensure maximum protection of public health from production through distribution<\/em>\u201d, says Carole Tonello, vice president of Business Development at Hiperbaric.<\/p>\n<h2>New Challenges for the Industry<\/h2>\n<p>Regulations require the industry to implement <strong>stricter controls, improved traceability, and greater product accountability<\/strong>, while facing higher costs associated with shelf-life studies, laboratory analyses, and adjustments to manufacturing and\/or logistics processes to prevent the presence of bacteria during transport and through the end of storage.<\/p>\n<p>This regulatory shift is based, among other studies, on the <strong>European Union\u2019s<\/strong> <em>One Health 2024<\/em> <strong>report,<\/strong> which ranks <em>Listeria monocytogenes<\/em> as the fourth most commonly reported zoonosis, with 3,041 confirmed cases in 2024. The data show that infections have followed an upward trend over the past five years, partly linked to an <strong>aging population<\/strong> and <strong>increased consumption of ready-to-eat products<\/strong>. Furthermore, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecdc.europa.eu\/en\">European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)<\/a>, this pathogen is responsible for the highest proportion of hospitalizations and deaths among foodborne infectious diseases. Nearly seven out of ten infected individuals require hospitalization, and approximately one in twelve dies.<\/p>\n<p>To put this into perspective with other common pathogens, and according to 2024 data from the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.efsa.europa.eu\/en\"> EFSA (European Food Safety Authority)<\/a>, salmonellosis has a case fatality rate of 0.24% and STEC infection has a rate of 0.31%. However, <strong>the fatality rate for listeriosis soars to 15.6%<\/strong>. \u201cWe are dealing with a disease that has a critical impact: nearly one in six people diagnosed dies, which justifies the need for extreme control measures in the industry,\u201d explains Tonello.<\/p>\n<h2>Technological solutions for prevention and conservation<\/h2>\n<p>Given this new legal framework, there are various technological solutions for prevention and preservation applied to the food industry to ensure food safety. Among these is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/en\/hpp-technology\/\"><strong>high-pressure processing (HPP)<\/strong><\/a>, one of the most promising technologies for <strong>preventing cases of food poisoning, ensuring food safety, and extending shelf life<\/strong>. The technology involves subjecting packaged food to very high pressure of up to 6,000 bar, which is applied uniformly using water. Applying it after sealing <strong>helps manage contamination risks introduced during cutting, handling, filling, or packaging, with minimal impact on flavor, texture, appearance, and nutritional values<\/strong> compared to heat-based pasteurization methods.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_68768\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68768\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-68768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-1260x709.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-630x355.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-420x236.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-840x473.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres-315x177.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Anna-Jofre-investigadora-en-seguridad-alimentaria-de-IRTA_lowres.jpg 1672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-68768\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anna Jofr\u00e9, food safety researcher at IRTA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Scientific validation of HPP for zero Listeria<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Anna Jofr\u00e9<\/strong>, a researcher in microbiology and food safety at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irta.cat\/en\/\"><strong>Institute for Agri-Food Research and Technology<\/strong> (IRTA)<\/a>, explains that there are three tools for validating the effectiveness of treatments against Listeria. <strong>Scientific literature<\/strong>, which involves searching scientific publications and reports for evidence that the technology we apply against Listeria in a food similar to the one we want to test is effective against this pathogen; <strong>predictive microbiology,<\/strong> which uses mathematical models to predict the inactivation of Listeria pathogens; and the <em>challenge test<\/em>, in which experimental trials are conducted with the food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Various studies and trials conducted by the institute show that applying HPP at a pressure of 6,000 bar for three minutes is the most effective strategy for reducing the risk of listeriosis in cooked ham, for example.
