Regulatory Landscape for STEC/VTEC in Europe (focus sprouts)• EU defines products at risk for STEC (CE 2073/2005):

• beef and food based on beef

• raw milk and products based on raw milk

• sprouted seeds; fruit juice and non pasteurized vegetables

�It ”aimed at reducing the faecal contamination along the food chain“ by using E. coli as indicator

• EFSA opinion in 2007 that O26, O111, O103, O145 and O157 are the strains of significance in Europe (90% cases)

• Outbreak in 2011 caused by E.coli 0104:H4 and has created lot of discussions at regulatory level

• EFSA added O104 to the list in May 2011

• ISO/TS 13136:2012

• EU released the EC209/2013 (amending CE 2073/2005) on the microbiological criteria for sprouted seeds

• sprouted seeds, producers and importers, need to test on EHECwhich EHEC big 6 and Ecoli 0104 and which samples: on sprouts (in process and lot release), seeds for sprout production, irrigation water for production

Collaboration with the USDA ARS

Thermo Fisher Scientific collaborates with the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to confirm assay designs against an extensive panel of pathogenic and non-pathogenic STEC of various O-group and origin, as well as non-E. coli organisms

The result is highly specific single target PCR ass ays, multiplexed to provide high levels of accuracy and high-
