Abstract
The Listeria monitoring program for Austrian dairies and cheese factories was established in 1988. The aim was to control the entrance of L. monocytogenes into the food-processing environment (FPE), preventing the contamination of food under processing. The Austrian Listeria monitoring program comprises four levels of investigation, dealing with routine monitoring of samples and consequences of finding a positive sample. Preventive quality control concepts attempt to detect a foodborne hazard along the food-processing chain, prior to food delivery, retailing, and consumption. The implementation of a preventive food safety concept provokes a deepened insight by the manufacturers into problems concerning food safety. The development of preventive quality assurance strategies contributes to the national food safety status and protects public health.
