    Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is a foodborne pathogen that causes diseases with high rates of lethality, and its contamination is particularly problematic in ready-to-eat meat products. With the accelerated pace of modern life and the rapid development of society, the demand for ready-to-eat food has been rising, and the risk of contamination of ready-to-eat food by LM has increased. This not only poses a potential threat to the health and safety of consumers, but also has the potential to trigger significant economic losses. This paper comprehensively analyzed the outbreak cases of LM in ready-to-eat meat products, the relevant laws and regulations of ready-to-eat foods in specific countries, and the current biological control measures. Through the in-depth discussion of relevant elements, the aim was to comprehensively describe the control strategy of LM in ready-to-eat foods, and identified potential risks and challenges, so as to provide scientific guidance for the control of LM in the food industry.
