Summary

THE FATE OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES ON PACKAGED, REFRIGERATED, AND FROZEN SEAFOOD WAS DETERMINED. FISH AND SHRIMP WERE INOCULATED WITH L. MONOCYTOGENES, PACKAGED BY 1 OF 3 TREATMENTS (FILM OVERWRAP OR 2 VACUUM PACKAGING TREATMENTS), AND STORED EITHER ON ICE FOR 21 D OR AT 253 K (-20 DEG C) FOR 3 MONTHS. NO INCREASE IN THE L. MONOCYTOGENES POPULATION ON ICED PRODUCTS WAS NOTED REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF PACKAGING. POPULATIONS ON FROZEN PRODUCTS DECREASED BY LESS THAN 1 LOG AFTER 3 MONTHS. VACUUM PACKAGING OF CHILLED FISH AND SEAFOOD IN THE MATERIAL EVALUATED MAY BE AN ALTERNATIVE PACKAGING TREATMENT.
