We are pleased to inform you that the Standing Committee of the Plants, Animal, Food and Feed/Section “Biological safety of the food chain”, at its meeting of 1st July 2021, has approved the version 4 of the EURL Lm Technical Guidance Document on challenge tests and durability studies for assessing shelf-life of ready-to-eat foods related to Listeria monocytogenes: link.
This new version was prepared with a working group of 7 NRLs coordinated by the EURL Lm and welcomed by the network of the NRLs for Listeria monocytogenes and by the working group on Microbiological Criteria managed by DG SANTE on 5 May 2021. The main objectives of this 4th version were to:
ensure consistency with the Standard EN ISO 20976-1 on the requirements and guidelines for conducting challenge tests of food and feed products - Part 1: challenge test to study the growth potential, lag time and maximum growth rate published in 2019;
modify by 10°C the default temperature at consumer level according to the EURL Lm report on “the temperature of domestic refrigerators in Europe”;
take into account the experience gained over the years in carrying out challenge tests.
Last first of July, took place the first meeting between the three EUropean Reference Centers on Animal Welfare and National Reference Centers and Supporting Bodies. This online meeting was a success. 21 European countries were represented. There were presentations of the EURCAWs and existing NRCs and workshops on scientific and technical issues on each species, training and communication.

The European Commission has responded positively to the European Citizen's Initiative (ECI) that collected 1.4 million signatures within one year from supporters in 28 Member States, being the first successful ECI on farm animals. The European Commission committed to propose to phase out and prohibit the use of cages for laying hens, sows, calves, rabbits, pullets, broiler breeders, layer breeders, quail, geese, and ducks. The proposal is expected by the end of 2023 and will be part of the revision of EU animal welfare legislation.

ANSES publishes data sheets on microbiological hazards. The data sheet dedicated to Listeria monocytogenes waw recently updated.

The bar graph shows the number of visits (green) and visitors (blue) to the CoVetLab website around the time of the most recent meeting (CVI, 12-13 June, 2014).
Where did the visitors come from? The first map shows the world-wide distribution of recent visitors.
The second map displays a more detailed view of visits from Europe.
Even the Member website receives a few visits. From relatively predictable locations.

Le Dr. Stephane Bayen de McGill (Montréal) nous présentera un séminaire sur :
Nouvelles applications et défis de l’analyse non ciblée des contaminants alimentaires par LC-HRMS.
Short bio :
Le Dr Stéphane Bayen est professeur associé au département des sciences alimentaires et de la chimie agricole de l'Université McGill. Ses intérêts de recherche comprennent (i) la chimie analytique appliquée à la détection de contaminants à l'état de traces et de leurs métabolites dans les aliments et l'environnement, (ii) le devenir des contaminants (chimie des contaminants ; mécanismes de bioaccumulation impliqués dans la contamination des aliments ; comportement des contaminants pendant le stockage, la transformation et la cuisson des aliments) et (iii) les évaluations des risques écologiques et pour la santé humaine. Depuis 2014, il met en place un programme de recherche à l'Université McGill (http://foodtox.lab.mcgill.ca/), qui se concentre sur le développement de nouvelles approches non ciblées (par exemple, la Foodomics) pour surveiller les contaminants et fournir une compréhension plus approfondie de leur comportement du champ à la fourchette.

Yann Guitton du Laberca nous présentera : W4M pour traiter les données HRMS pour la métabolomique (mais pas que), les bonnes pratiques à avoir et les défis à relever en HRMS.
Yann est responsable du centre de métabolomique, lipidomique et stéroïdomique, à Nantes.
Il est chargé plus particulièrement de l'automatisation des flux de traitement des données de spectrométrie de masse et des stratégies de déréplication. Il est également en charge du développement de plusieurs scripts et packages R dédiés au traitement des données MSn. Son dernier projet de recherche est l'implémentation de workflows de traitement de données métabolomiques dans l'environnement GALAXY : http://workflow4metabolomics.org.
Yann a publié plus d’une quarantaine d’articles.
