Summary

Effects of slicing and vacuum packaging on the shelf-life of meat products at 4 to 8 deg C. Slicing led to an increase in bacteria count. Lactic bacteria develop faster at 8 deg C than at 4 deg C and are more numerous at the interface between the surface of the meat and the packaging. Meat products stored at 4 deg C for 17 or 21 days were judged acceptable by consumers.
