Summary

Samples of beef, pork and poultry were placed in polyethylene (PE) or polyamide-polyethylene (PA/PE) pouches, inoculated with L. monocytogenes and irradiated at 4 or -18 deg C. Listeria were the least radioresistant in chilled meats packaged in PE and the most resistant in frozen meats packaged in PA/PE values: 225-393 grays. In the second experiment, samples of 3 ripe cheeses packaged in PA/PE pouches were inoculated with Listeria and irradiated at ambient temperature. Irradiation dose values ranged from 258 to 273 grays.
