Delighted to share insights from the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) Annual Meeting 2024 in Long Beach, where I had the privilege of presenting our recent research on behalf of the Mars Global Food Safety Center. Our poster, titled "Identification of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes with Nanopore-Based Whole Genome Sequencing," highlighted significant advancements in rapid molecular-based confirmation methods for foodborne pathogens. This project was a collaborative effort involving Cornell University and the University of Georgia, with robust internal support from our Mars Global Service R&D solutions and the Quality & Food Safety teams at Mars. Our approach notably reduces the time required to identify Listeria species from days to less than 24 hours. I am thankful for the opportunity to communicate and share our research findings with many esteemed professionals from industry, academia, and regulatory bodies. The positive feedback has been very affirming. Our research contributes to improved practices in managing food safety across the supply chain, enhancing both response times and accuracy in pathogen confirmation and demonstrated the feasibility of using nanopore sequencing in pathogen source tracking.
