    Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous pathogen with an ability to contaminate a variety of foods during pre- and/or post-processing (Olaimat et al., 2018). Due to its ability to resist wide environmental conditions such as pH (4.7 to 9.2), high salinity (10% NaCl) and temperature (0.5 to 45°C), L. monocytogenes is recognized as significant food safety hazard, especially in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. Owing to its high mortality rate (20 to 30%) and hospitalization rates of Listeria infection, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States implemented zero tolerance approach for L. monocytogenes in all the RTE foods (Hitchins, 1998).
