Summary

Beef was packaged under CO2 containing less than 500 ppm O2 (MAP), vacuum, or air and stored at 0, 2, or 4 deg C. Samples were analyzed weekly for bacterial numbers using anaerobic plate count (pre-reduced medium and anaerobic chamber), aerobic plate count, and anaerobic jar plate count (MAP samples only) methods. For both MAP and vacuum packaged samples, the anaerobic plate count was consistently greater than the aerobic plate count and for MAP samples the anaerobic plate count was consistently higher than the anaerobic jar plate count.
