Rebecca,
Mel Eklund, National Marine Fisheries Service (retired), did some research
on this subject in the late 90's. I can't find a reference on it but I
believe he reported on it at a meeting of the Pacific Fisheries
Technologists. As I recall he told us that hot smoking fish to an internal
temperature of 145F for 30 minutes would kill Listeria - but only if smoke
were applied prior to the final cook. Sorry I can't find the reference.
Gretchen Pelroy in NMFS's Seattle lab may be able to help you. The last
contact number I had for her was:

She normally follows this discussion group so I am surprised she has not
already responded to your inquiry.

Rebecca,
Sorry this is a bit negative but even so it may give an idea on the state of
research into L. monocytogenes. The only reference I have been able to turn
up relating to research on smoked fish and L monocytogenes is:
http://www.marsource.maris.int/research/FAIR/2/95-1207.html
which proposes research in cold smoked fish.
Other than that I can only add that from my own knowledge you will have to
attain the usual pasteurisation temperatures (73+ oC).
Hope this is some use.

Subject: the effect of smoke on Listeria monocytogenes
Happy New Year everyone.
I'm looking for information on hot smoke processes and their impact on
Listeria monocytogenes, particularly the effect of the actual smoke on
Listeria monocytogenes. Thank you everyone.
Rebecca
