BSFM 2024- Reported food-borne outbreaks in Belgium, 2023
outbreaks, collects and centralizes the information on food-borne outbreaks (FBO s) and assures the follow-up of the FBO s in Belgium. Materials and Methods A food-borne outbreak is defined as an incidence, ...
Validation of the measurement of Aluminium in food by ICP-OES after acid digestion
foodstuffs, it is necessary to accurately measure aluminium levels. In our laboratory, we have developed a method utilising inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP- OES) to analyse certain ...

Fast and discriminative CoSYPS detection system of viable Salmonella spp. and Listeria spp. in carcass swab samples.
validation, the results of the complete workflow were compared, according to the ISO 16140:2003, with the ISO reference methods for detection, isolation and confirmation of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella ...
Genetic diversity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 : H7 recovered from human and food sources.
significant concordance (P <0.05) between the LSPA-6 assay and the other typing methods. Multivariable regression analysis suggested that tir (255T) was the most distinctive genotype that can be used to ...
Acrylonitrile exposure in the general population following a major train accident in Belgium: a human biomonitoring study.
suspected exposure. METHODS: Between May 18-25, 242 residents participated in the study. N-2-cyanoethylvaline (CEV), a biomarker that is highly specific for ACN exposure, was measured in the blood. To account for ...
Comparative study of seven commercial kits for human DNA extraction from urine samples suitable for DNA biomarker-based public health studies.
biomarkers as a result of the simple and noninvasive collection method. These studies, involving many samples, require a rapid, easy, and standardized extraction protocol. Moreover, for practicability, there ...
Validation of a sensitive DNA walking strategy to characterise unauthorised GMOs using model food matrices mimicking common rice products
identification of transgenic insertions as low as 10 HGE s and was not affected by the presence of untargeted DNA. Moreover, despite the clear impact of food processing on DNA quality, this method was able to cope ...
