Food safety is a situation that guarantees a population’s access to food at all times, both in terms of quality and quantity. It must be sufficient to ensure a healthy and active life, taking into account eating habits.

Salmonellosis is a very common food-borne infection. In more than 90% of cases, it is the consumption of food contaminated with animal faeces that is the cause. Food contaminated with Salmonella does not necessarily show visible changes or a suspect smell. They are mainly eggs (and products containing them), meat and poultry eaten raw or undercooked.

Listeria monocytogenes, more commonly known as Listeria, is a foodborne pathogen that causes a severe disease: listeriosis. It is a rare disease, but with a high mortality rate. More than 1 in 5 people who contract listeriosis die from it. Because of the seriousness of its health effects, it is essential to learn about Listeria to avoid the risk of contamination.
