“…Several reports underline the possibility of end product contamination due to transfer of pathogens from animals and the animal environment to finished food products ready for market. This contamination can occur as a cross-contamination as was the case in the Belgian and Swedish outbreak mentioned previously (De Schrijver et al, 2008;Eilertz et al, 2004).…”

“…In Sweden, a listeriosis outbreak was linked to the consumption of on-farm manufactured fresh goat cheese produced from raw milk of goats with subclinical mastitis excreting L. monocytogenes directly in the milk. On this farm in Sweden, contamination in the environment caused the cross-contamination of the cow milk cheeses produced at the same farm (Eilertz et al, 2004). Also, in Belgium a listeriosis outbreak occurred due to the consumption of cheese made from raw milk from a goat with subclinical mastitis (Delhalle et al, 2012).…”

2015),"Microbiological safety and quality aspects of the short supply chain", British Abstract Purpose -In recent years consumers in Belgium have shown a great interest for foods from the short supply chain. The difference with the conventional chain is that in the short supply chain the primary products are locally processed and sold directly by the producer to the consumer. The short supply chain has different microbiological quality and safety aspects in comparison with the conventional chain. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate these aspects. Design/methodology/approach -The methodology consists of analyzing the available scientific literature and results of microbiological analyses on foods from the short supply chain. Findings -The main findings were that Listeria monocytogenes was frequently detected (15 percent) in sampled raw dairy products whereas Salmonella was not isolated in 1,023 samples. Human pathogenic vero (cyto) toxin-producing Escherichia coli and Campylobacter spp. are potential hazards, in particular for products that are not thermally treated. Data with regard to E. coli counts showed a greater variability in products from the short supply chain compared to the conventional chain.Research limitations/implications -The paper discusses strengths and weaknesses with impact on microbial quality and safety in operation of food safety management in the short supply chain vs the conventional chain. Originality/value -This is the first paper that assesses the risks from the short supply chain vs the conventional chain and that makes recommendations for operators in the short supply chain.
