Cover Story: A risk assessment model was developed to evaluate the risk of listeriosis linked to the consumption of non-ready-to-eat frozen vegetables. In a reference scenario, the model estimated that 9.4% of 500 g packages of frozen vegetables would be contaminated at the end of processing, although at levels < 10 CFU/g. Assuming that during handling at home 20% of 50 g portions of frozen vegetables would be left to thaw at room temperature for 2 hours, the lot-level mean risk of listeriosis in the susceptible population would be 2.765 × 10−17 (median 5.184 × 10−18) for cooked servings. Multiple scenarios showed that not cooking the non-RTE product contributes to the risk to a greater extent than the level of contamination in the incoming raw vegetables, which in turn is more influential than the level of contamination in the processing environment.
