TL;DR: The exclusion of filamentous fungi and enterococci from the QPS evaluations was reconsidered but monitoring will be maintained and the status will be re‐evaluated in the next QPS Opinion update.

TL;DR: This updated guidance does not call for a general re‐evaluation of previous assessments where the NOAEL approach or the BMD approach as described in the 2009 SC guidance was used, in particular when the exposure is clearly smaller than the health‐based guidance value.

TL;DR: Quantitative modelling suggests that more than 90% of invasive listeriosis is caused by ingestion of RTE food containing > 2,000 colony forming units (CFU)/g, and that one‐third of cases are due to growth in the consumer phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, a guidance document on the use of the weight of evidence approach in scientific assessments for use in all areas under EFSA's remit is presented, which identifies reliability, relevance and consistency as three basic considerations for weighing evidence.
