49- listeria EU food

The European Court of Justice has issued a Court Order that enables food companies to continue the use of phages to prevent Listeria on all ready to eat foods in the EU in the absence of a legal EU framework. Using Listeria phages on food has been legal in the US for a while (Listex was approved by the FDA as "Generally Recognized as Safe" in 2006), but regulations in Europe have been ambiguous until now.
