“…Regarding aquaculture industry, location and environment of fisheries area are considered to be as high risk for potential contamination source. Moreover, process, package and storage procedures are also reported in several publications as production stages with significant biological hazards (Chintagari et al, 2017;Dumen et al, 2020;Huss et al, 2000).…”

Food safety is increasingly concern both consumers and public health authorities. Food safety management systems have been implemented in food industry in order to protect consumer's health. Moreover, risk analysis strategies are usually included in food safety management plans. The aim of this study was to present and suggest an integrated system for risk analysis in food industry. Risk assessment combined with Next Generation Sequencing technology were performed. Greek food products which hold a PDO or PGI quality scheme (Avgotaracho Mesolonghiou and Vostizza currant) were selected as case studies because of their uniqueness and economic impact. From the results obtained, existing strategies were adequate in terms of Greek regulation for pathogens in foodstuff. However, NGS technique opens up possibilities to detect total microbiota of food products and minimize possible foodborne incidents. NGS analysis of Greek PDO products identified bacterial species (Bacillus cereus and Acitenobacter Venetianus) that can provide managers extra information about potential consumers' exposure to biological hazards. In conclusion, by advanced risk analysis, existing limitations regarding foodborne pathogens could be addressed. Therefore, this integrated risk analysis plan should be implemented in food industry in terms of food safety.

“…Tthese eating habits create concerns regarding the safety of consuming raw fish since some may be contaminated with several types of potentially pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites [6][7][8]. Altogether, pathogenic microorganisms are responsible for outbreaks of human disease that can either have an environmental origin or result from cross-contamination of food items during their handling [9]. In this context, it is of utmost importance to develop reliable, rapid, and robust methodologies to detect pathogenic human viruses, such as NoV and HAV in food matrices.…”

Development of a Tetraplex qPCR for the Molecular Identification and Quantification of Human Enteric Viruses, NoV and HAV, in Fish Samples

Human enteric viruses such as norovirus (NoV) and hepatitis A virus (HAV) are some of the most important causes of foodborne infections worldwide. Usually, infection via fish consumption is not a concern regarding these viruses, since fish are mainly consumed cooked. However, in the last years, raw fish consumption has become increasingly common, especially involving the use of seabass and gilthead seabream in dishes like sushi, sashimi, poke, and carpaccio. Therefore, the risk for viral infection via the consumption of raw fish has also increased. In this study, a virologic screening was performed in 323 fish specimens captured along the Portuguese coast using a tetraplex qPCR optimised for two templates (plasmid and in vitro transcribed RNA) to detect and quantify NoV GI, NoV GII and HAV genomes. A difference of approximately 1-log was found between the use of plasmid or in vitro transcribed RNA for molecular-based quantifications, showing an underestimation of genome copy-number equivalents using plasmid standard-based curves. Additionally, the presence of NoV genomic RNA in a pool of seabass brains was identified, which was shown to cluster with a major group of human norovirus sequences from genogroup I (GI.1) by phylogenetic analysis. None of the analysed fish revealed the presence of NoV GII or HAV. This result corroborates the hypothesis that enteric viruses circulate in seawater or that fish were contaminated during their transportation/handling, representing a potential risk to humans through raw or undercooked fish consumption.

“…The globalization of aquaculture markets presents important nutritional and economic benefits but also poses potential risks for food safety, such as the fraudulent substitution of fish species and the presence of food microorganisms, viruses, parasites, and vectors of their corresponding foodborne diseases [2]. Moreover, fish and seafood are easily spoiled, resulting in a fast loss of food quality due to the presence of fish microbiota, the elevated amount of unsaturated fatty acids and the abundance of proteases.…”

This review presents the primary applications of various proteomic strategies to evaluate the impact of farming conditions on food quality and safety in aquaculture products. Aquaculture is a quickly growing sector that represents 47% of total fish production. Food quality, dietary management, fish welfare, the stress response, food safety, and antibiotic resistance, which are covered by this review, are among the primary topics in which proteomic techniques and strategies are being successfully applied. The review concludes by outlining future directions and potential perspectives.
