Abstract
Samples of frozen seafood products from several countries were tested for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Listeria isolation method. Of 57 samples tested, 35 contained Listeria species and 15 of 57 samples contained L. monocytogenes. Samples found positive included raw shrimp, cooked and peeled shrimp, cooked crabmeat, raw lobster tails, langostinos, scallops, squid and surimi-based imitation seafoods. Positive samples were obtained from nine different countries around the world.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
