This study analyzed data from 6 years (2014-2019) of official controls in the Emilia-Romagna region (northern Italy) to investigate the frequencies of human pathogens and chemical hazards in foods during production and distribution. Campylobacter spp. was the most prevalent pathogen, isolated in 4.4% of the 1,078 food samples examined, followed by Salmonella spp. (2.8%), Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) (1.9%), and Listeria monocytogenes (0.9%). Salmonella serotyping showed that the isolates belonged to the serotypes most commonly isolated from humans in Emilia-Romagna. These serotypes were as follows: S. Infantis (34.8%), mostly isolated from chicken, monophasic S. Typhimurium (1,4, [5],12:i:-) (12.6%), S. Bredeney (8.9%), and S. Derby (8.6%). No Clostridium botulinum, Yersinia spp., and Shigella spp. were isolated. No positivity was detected for hepatitis A virus, while 5.1% of samples taken in the production phase of the food chain were found to be contaminated with norovirus. The chemical analyses identified environmental contaminants within legal limits (heavy metals, 0.6% positive overall; mycotoxins, 0.4% positive overall), analytes subjected to monitoring (perfluoro-alkyl substances (PFASs), 6.2% positive overall; inorganic arsenic, no positives overall) and process contaminants and additives within legal limits (acrylamide, 9.6% positive overall; permitted or nonpermitted additives, 0.9% positive overall). Only one sample showed dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at levels higher than the legal limits. The monitoring by competent authorities (CA) of food contamination can generate useful data that can be used as a basis for estimating the exposure to different food contaminants over time and for evaluating the effects of control measures on the contamination of food.
