據英國食品標準署消息，6月30日英國食品標準署發布李斯特菌風險防控指南，新的指南主要面向醫療保健和社會保健機構，幫助體弱群體應對李斯特菌感染風險。
李斯特菌病是由單增李斯特菌引發的一種疾病。盡管非常罕見，卻容易導致嚴重疾病，甚至引起體弱人群死亡。
該指南旨在幫助健康機構采取措施應對即食食品中的李斯特菌風險，同時為食品工業補充良好的操作規范。
部分原文報道如下：
New guidance has been published, aimed at healthcare and social care organisations, to help reduce the risk of vulnerable groups in their care contracting listeriosis.
Listeriosis is a foodborne illness caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. It is rare but can cause serious illness and death in vulnerable groups of the population.
This guidance is intended to help these organisations determine what steps can be put in place to reduce the risk of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods and to complement good practice in the food industry.
