The FDA posted on its website that Euphoria Fancy Food Inc of Brooklyn, NY recalled its 7.05 oz packages of “CAPITAN K” salmon slightly salted pieces because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled “CAPITAN K ” salmon slightly salted pieces were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders. The product comes in 7.05 oz, vacuum package marked with container code of 070519 and with a best by date of 01/30/20. No illnesses have been reported to date and connection with this problem. The contamination was discovered after sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Market Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in some 7.05 oz vacuum packages of “CAPITAN K” salmon slightly salted pieces. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/euphoria-fancy-food-inc-recalls-capitan-k-salmon-fillet-due-possible-health-risk?utm_campaign=Euphoria%20Fancy%20Food%20Inc.%20Recalls%20%E2%80%9CCapitan%20K%20Salmon%20Fillet%E2%80%9D%20Due%20to%20Possible%20Health%20Risk&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua

Scientist from Korea published in Food Control a study on the influence of surface properties on inactivation efficacy of foodborne pathogens (E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes) on various food contact surfaces, including glass, PVC, Stainless steel (SUS), Teflon, and silicon by using UVC light-emitting-diode (LED) irradiation. UVC LED lamps have gained interest as a replacement to UV lamps due to the Minamata convention (international treaty enacted to eliminate the use of mercury). To maximize pathogen inactivation a combination of 60 °C mild heat and UVC LED irradiation was applied. Surface properties, especially hydrophobicity, influenced to the inactivation of foodborne pathogens. Combination treatment of 60 °C mild heat and UVC LED achieved an additive or synergistic inactivation effect (up to 1 log reduction) on E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes. The combined treatment can compensate for lower penetration and other limitations of UV irradiation, so that effective control of bacteria on food processing surfaces can occur. @ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095671351930458X?dgcid=rss_sd_all
