Summary

FROZEN CARCASSES WERE PURCHASED FROM 3 RETAIL OUTLETS ON 2 SAMPLING DAYS. TWO OF THE BRANDS WERE PRODUCED AND PROCESSED CONVENTIONALLY, AND THE THIRD BRAND UNDER ORGANIC CONDITIONS. THE FROZEN CARCASSES WERE TEMPERED TO 277.4 K (4.4 DEG C) PRIOR TO MICROBIOLOGICAL SAMPLING. ALL CARCASSES WERE SAMPLED USING A MECHANICAL SHAKER AND 100 MILLILITERS OF STERILE WATER. RECOVERED RINSE FLUID WAS EVALUATED FOR LEVELS OF SALMONELLAE. INCIDENCE RATES ACROSS THE 3 BRANDS RANGED FROM 17 TO 50 %, WITH MOST PROBABLE NUMBER OF SALMONELLAE PER 100 MILLILITERS OF RECOVERED RINSE FLUID RANGING FROM 5 TO 34 ORGANISMS. SEROTYPES RECOVERED INCLUDE SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM, SALMONELLA PARATYPHI, AND SALMONELLA ARIZONAE.
