The Listeria monocytogenes dashboard shows summary statistics for the monitoring results of the pathogen with regard to major ready-to-eat food categories, Listeria monocytogenes-positive official samples in the context of food safety criteria in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 and official samples exceeding the food safety criteria limit of 100 CFU/g for specified food matrices. Other monitoring statistics for Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods are also displayed. The Listeria monocytogenes data and related statistics can be displayed interactively using charts, graphs and maps in the online EFSA dashboard. The main statistics can also be viewed and downloaded in tabular format.
