Consumo de fibra dietética en la población urbana costarricense
REVISTA MÉDICA DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE COSTA RICA, 2021
El consumo de fibra dietética es esencial para la salud intestinal y se ha asociado con un menor riesgo de enfermedad coronaria, accidente cerebrovascular, hipertensión, obesidad y diabetes mellitus tipo 2. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el consumo de fibra dietética total, soluble e insoluble, según las características sociodemográficas, así como los alimentos fuente de fibra en la población urbana costarricense que formó parte del Estudio Latino Americano de Nutrición y Salud (ELANS).
Consumption of dietary fiber in the urban Costa Rican population
MEDICAL JOURNAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COSTA RICA, 2021
The consumption of dietary fiber is essential for intestinal health and has been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study is to analyze the consumption of total, soluble dietary fiber and insoluble, according to the sociodemographic characteristics, as well as the fiber source foods in the urban Costa Rican population that was part of the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health (ELANS).

Overview of recalls, withdrawals and safety alerts with microbial pathogens in the EU and US in 2012-2017. EU data were extracted from RASFF (2020) and US data were extracted from FDA (2020).
There is a great interest in the food industry to perform validations in a manner that would be accepted by all parties involved, for example, authorities and customers.
Low moisture foods are foods that:
- are naturally very low in moisture,
- have had water removed from them,
- have a higher moisture content, but that contain agents that prevent the moisture from being available to microorganisms to allow their growth.
In this work, the "production environment" includes production equipment, production surfaces, floors/walls/ceilings, and the air within the production area.
Scientific abstract ExpandProcessing environment monitoring is gaining increasing importance in the context of food safety management plans/HACCP programs, since past outbreaks have shown the relevance of the environment as contamination pathway, therefore requiring to ensure the safety of products. However, there are still many open questions and a lack of clarity on how to set up a meaningful program, which would provide early warnings of potential product contamination. Therefore, the current paper aims to summarize and evaluate existing scientific information on outbreaks, relevant pathogens in low moisture foods, and knowledge on indicators, including their contribution to a "clean" environment capable of limiting the spread of pathogens in dry production environments. This paper also outlines the essential elements of a processing environment monitoring program thereby supporting the design and implementation of better programs focusing on the relevant microorganisms. This guidance document is intended to help industry and regulators focus and set up targeted processing environment monitoring programs depending on their purpose, and therefore provide the essential elements needed to improve food safety.

Low Moisture Foods are defined as having a water activity of 1 or below. In the EU and USA there were 498 combined alerts for microbial pathogens and LMF. Between 2010 and 2017, EFSA reported 10 salmonellosis outbreaks from LMF alone.Genetic characterization of isolates provides interesting insights for understanding the difference between resident and sporadic strains in a processing environment.
