Schnelle Ursachenanalyse in Krisenfällen – woher stammen Salmonellen, Listeria monocytogenes & Co.?
Lebensmittelbedingte Infektionen und Rückrufe verursacht durch diverse Krankheitserreger wie Salmonellen oder Listeria monocytogenes haben auch weiterhin eine hohe Relevanz. Gerade die Anzahl der durch Listeria monocytogenes ausgelösten Lebensmittelkrisen ist in den letzten Jahren in der Schweiz aber auch in anderen Ländern kontinuierlich angestiegen.

In unserer Laborgruppe bieten wir…
