Summary

Large meat products tend to be difficult to cool in compliance with US Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) stabilization microbiological standards. The authors investigated large hams and large uncured beef rounds with respect to USDA-FSIS guidance, and focused on Clostridium perfringens. Curing ingredients exerted an inhibitory effect on the growth of C. perfringens. The long cooling times required for these products were quantified.
