Cover Story: The incidence of L. monocytogenes has not significantly decreased in the last few years, which highlights the need for more control measurements in the food industry. The verification of food processing plants is the key to avoiding cross-contamination and assuring the safety of food products. However, analysis of the food contact surface requires improvement. In this study, a new methodology based on recombinase polymerase reaction (RPA) combined with lateral flow strips (RPA-LF) was developed to detect L. monocytogenes. The complete methodology reached an LoD95 of 18.2 CFU/cm2 and allowed a reduction in time and the need for complex equipment. View this paper
