Summary

After irradiation of chickens, the decrease in the standard plate count (SPC) was similar in air and in vacuum-packaged chickens. During storage at 4 deg C for 15 days, the SPC increased progressively. At the end of the storage period, the SPC was higher in air-packaged chicken than in vacuum-packaged chickens. In irradiated chickens, Listeria monocytogenes was only recovered from the vacuum-packaged chickens. In unirradiated chickens, L. monocytogenes proliferated similarly in both package systems.
