Summary

Listeria monocytogenes is known to survive in refrigerated foods with low (4.0-5.0) pH values. Dill pickles with 3 different salt contents were investigated. Rations were stored at room temperature for 1 week before being refrigerated for 3 months. The Listeria population increased at room temperature then decreased during refrigerated storage, with the most marked decrease occurring in pickles with the highest salt concentration.
