Summary

12.8% of the 'identical' samples examined in 1990 contained L. monocytogenes, but only 1.5% in 1996. This reflects a decrease in the contamination level of approximately 88%. 50% of the producers marketed products contaminated with L. monocytogenes in 1990 compared to only 14% in 1996. The sharp decrease was due to improvements in equipment, moulding, handling and storage conditions.
