Summary

The process involves the automatic loading of beef sides into two continuous chillers, where the sides are periodically sprayed with water during the early part of the process, and subsequently are exposed to subzero air temperatures. The potential proliferations of Escherichia coli were calculated from 48 temperature histories obtained from the site-on-side surfaces that have been shown to remain at the highest temperatures for the longest periods. Results are discussed.
