Food consumption Survey 2022-2023- Estimation of food and supplement consumption and nutrient intake in the Belgian population
individuals with two complete recalls were included in these analyses, which means that the study sample differs slightly from other analyses. To ensure the representativeness of the Belgian population, ...
Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
bacterium that occurs as a contaminant in food and feed, occasionally resulting in food poisoning through the production of various toxins. In this study, we retrospectively characterized viable B. cereus ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
contaminant present in the sample at once, possibly also at the SNP level. At the time this study started, shotgun metagenomics for the study of food contaminants was in its infancy. Moreover, strain-level ...

Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
2 weeks after receipt of the sample, which was freshly prepared tartar sauce in a meal cooked at the school. Our team used this outbreak as a case study to deliver a proof of concept for a short-read ...
Particle size analysis of pristine food-grade titanium dioxide and E 171 in confectionery products: Interlaboratory testing of a SP-ICP-MS screening method and confirmation with transmission electron microscopy.
relatively simple sample food matrices used in this study, bath sonication turned out to be sufficient to reach the highest, achievable degree of dispersed constituent particles. For the pristine material, ...
