Type of article: Article

Summary

SPOILAGE OF CHILLED POULTRY BY BACTERIAL GROWTH ON THE SURFACE AFFECTS THE PROCESSOR AND THE RETAILER. THE BACTERIA RESPONSIBLE, THE METHOD OF CONTAMINATION, DEVELOPMENT AND METABOLISM ARE DISCUSSED. DECONTAMINATION IS INEFFECTIVE AGAINST SPOILAGE. STORAGE AT 278K (5 DEGC) IS INSUFFICIENT TO GUARANTEE AN ACCEPTABLE SHELF LIFE. CLOSE TO 273K (0 DEGC) EQUIVALENT REDUCTIONS IN TEMPERATURE HAVE AN INCREASING EFFECT ON SHELF LIFE. C.R.F.
