Zoonotic pathogens in foods, including meats, have to be controlled through
a complete, continuous farm-to-fork system and should take into account not
only the risks but also technical possibilities, consumers’ attitude and behaviours,
and cost–benefit analysis. However, some aspects of the control system
are pathogen specific. Thus some pathogens in meats (e.g. Salmonella spp. and
Campylobacter spp.) are most efficiently controlled by the main interventions
applied in the primary production combined with optimisation of the slaughter
hygiene. For some others, such as more environmentally ubiquitous
L. monocytogenes, but also organisms like Clostridium spp. and Staphylococcus
aureus, the main control measures are focused on later stages of the meat chain.
This chapter is not an exhaustive review of meat-borne pathogens but gives
an overview of the main microbial risks associated with the meat chain.
