28 Regulatory Landscape for STEC/VTEC in Europe (Focus Sprouts) EU defines products at risk for STEC (CE 2073/2005): beef and food based on beef raw milk and products based on raw milk sprouted seeds; fruit juice and non pasteurized vegetables It aimed at reducing the faecal contamination along the food chain by using E. coli as indicator EFSA opinion in 2007 that O26, O111, O103, O145 and O157 are the strains of significance in Europe (90% cases) Outbreak in 2011 caused by E.coli 0104:H4 and has created lot of discussions at regulatory level EFSA added O104 to the list in May 2011 EU released the EC209/2013 (amending CE 2073/2005) on the microbiological criteria for sprouted seeds sprouted seeds, producers and importers, need to test on EHEC which EHEC big 6 and Ecoli 0104 and which samples: on sprouts (in process and lot release), seeds for sprout production, irrigation water for production 28

47 Meat 47

48 Why Perform Species Detection Analysis? Feed analysis Food fraud Is the feed compliant with the EU Legislation? Is what is stated on the label OK (recipe)? Is my meat pure? Cleaning and control surfaces Halal and Kosher Food Is my food free of pork (halal/kosher) Is my vegan product free of animal products? 48
