AMIF is soliciting pre-proposals on controlling Listeria monocytogenes on ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products, Escherichia coli O157:H7 in fresh beef products and Salmonella in meat and poultry products.
AMIF is also soliciting pre-proposals for Targeted Research based on research needs and priorities identified by AMI member companies. These topics include: validate existing and commonly used intervention technologies for Listeria monocytogenes and how they impact Salmonella survival in fully cooked ready-to-eat meat and poultry products; develop novel interventions to reduce the likelihood of Salmonella contamination in products that appear ready-to-eat but are not ready-to-eat (i.e. uncooked, breaded, boneless poultry products that also may be stuffed or filled, charmarked or artificially coloured); a review paper on understanding sodium replacements from a food safety and health perspective; epidemiological data on food attribution for listeriosis, both sporadic and outbreak cases; white paper on causes of human MRSA cases; white paper on C. difficile as a risk associated with animal sources; and a white paper addressing the nutritional benefits of meat.
