Our labs sparkle with cleanliness, and our processes are buttoned up. We feel safe. But in the world of microbiology, an enemy lurks, one that is practically designed to attack gelaterias. Its name is Listeria monocytogenes, and this article is an absolute must-read for anyone who works with refrigerated food.
What makes this bacterium so dangerous for us specifically? Its terrifying superpower: unlike most microorganisms that are merely put to sleep by the cold, Listeria thrives in low temperatures, even those inside a refrigerator. This makes it a nightmare for the entire dairy and gelato industry. The article thoroughly explains that the threat doesn't end with the pasteurization of the mix. Contamination most often occurs after this process, through cross-contamination from improperly washed tools, surfaces, or even an employee's hands. What's at stake is not just reputation, but above all, the health and lives of your customers.
