DOSSIER: Rsik assessment of campylobacter in poultry meat

Work carried out by UMR SECALIM (Food Safety and Microbiology) aims to understand bacterial behavior and assess the health risk. Among recent studies, a study published in the International Journal of Food Microbiology aims to predict the level of C. jejuni contamination before preparation and consumption at home
