Abstract
Monitoring the occurrence of L. monocytogenes in the food processing environment, especially small RTE food processing environments, is important and can have an impact on reducing such occurrence. There are many surveys of L. monocytogenes occurrence (Table 2.2), and these are valuable in creating awareness of L. monocytogenes occurrence in particular places. However, even more valuable are National surveys that continually monitor food processing environments on a regular basis. Such programmes facilitate awareness of L. monocytogenes occurrence, and also facilitate comparative analysis of occurrence over time.
