A Review of Consumer Food Safety Research to Identify Domestic Risk Factors Associated with Listeriosis

 Reported incidence of listeriosis has more than doubled in Europe1 , with two-thirds of reported cases associated with adults aged 60 years2 and UK incidence among older adults reported to have tripled3 . Majority of listeriosis incidence are predominantly associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) foods4 and are reported to be largely sporadic5 , which may be associated with unsafe food handling and storage practices in consumers’ domestic kitchens
