Summary

In the last few years the offer of ready-to-eat food and snacks on the market has been increasing, therefore new challenges regarding preservation have arisen. Predictive microbiology proved to be a useful tool and a guarantee both for the producer assessing the shelf-life, and the control authority. The aim of this study was to assess the shelf-life of a sandwich packaged in protective atmosphere and stored at +4°C, under conditions which change over time but should not allow the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. The most important factors which guarantee the shelf-life are the quality of the raw materials, the hygienic conditions during the production process, the choice of the appropriate packaging materials (i.e. their gas permeability) and the cold chain.
