Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes has the potential to cause listeriosis which could be a serious illness in vulnerable consumers such as pregnant women, neonates, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised individuals. Serbian legislation, which is in accordance with EU legislation, requires control of Listeria monocytogenes only in ready-to-eat products. Due to the persistent problem of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in RTE products in one meat processing industry this pathogen was subject of a largescale study. The study included examination of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in different areas, including production environment, raw meat, as well as RTE products. In this paper, the results of Listeria monocytogenes presence in raw (chilled and frozen) meat are presented. Based on our results and experience working within the food industry and supported by published reports and research work, Listeria monocytogenes should be part of mandatory, regular and continuous control of raw meat.
