Metagenomics-based tracing of genetically modified microorganism contaminations in commercial fermentation products
contaminations were detected, identifying a group of samples with a conspicuously similar contamination profile, which suggested that these samples originated from the same production facility or batch. Together, ...
BSFM 2024- Reported food-borne outbreaks in Belgium, 2023
identified as raw fermented milk produced in Belgium. The number of Belgian cases formally linked with the outbreak includes two cases in 2023 and one case in 2022 (identified through retrospective WGS ...
An interlaboratory proficiency test using metagenomic sequencing as a diagnostic tool for the detection of RNA viruses in swine fecal material.
classifier as well as read mapping to selected astroviral reference genomes to assess the semiquantitative representation of astrovirus species mixtures. All participants successfully identified and classified ...
Development of the Local Food Systems Policy Index (Local Food-EPI+) tool and assessment process to benchmark the implementation of local government policies for creating healthy, equitable and environmentally sustainable food systems.
sustainability of food systems and prioritise action areas. Broad use of this tool will identify and promote leading practices, increase accountability for action and build capacity and collaborations. Health ...
Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
Viable B. cereus was identified in 18 of the 75 (24%) tested products, resulting in 36 WGS datasets, which were classified into eleven different ST s, with ST165 (n = 10) and ST32 (n = 8) being the most ...
Which government policies to create sustainable food systems have the potential to simultaneously address undernutrition, obesity and environmental sustainability?
identify and prioritise policies with double- or triple-duty potential to achieve healthier and more environmentally sustainable food systems. METHODS: This study undertook a 4-step methodological approach, ...
Food environment in Burkina Faso: priority actions recommended to the government using Food-EPI tool.
experts were brought together to identify and prioritize actions to fill the gaps identified through a multi-step assessment process following the methodology of the Healthy Food and Environment Policy ...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
of structurally diverse secondary metabolites with toxic potential has been identified, but occurrence and relative proportion of the different metabolites in complex mixtures depend on strain, ...
Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.
limits. Consideration of the transfer of pesticides from the leaves (called transfer factors) to the brew is essential to assess the associated risk. This study identified infusion parameters influencing ...
Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
