Summary

The major outcome of the DIST (Department of Industry, Science and Tourism) project has been the development of the two volume "Australian smallgoods food safety guidelines" for meat and meat products. Another important aspect of the project has been a microbiological study on plants, their practices and products. Shelf life testing led to recommendations to plants. Several product categories, e.g. paté, sausages and hams did not achieve their stated shelf life at 9 deg C, the temperature at which poorly operated retail cabinets operate.
