Simulated growth of Listeria monocytogenes in refrigerated foods stored at variable temperatures.

Author(s) : SAGUY I.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The problems arising from Listeria monocytogenes are reviewed, and details are given of the model and time-temperature conditions which were followed. The results for "average" temperature conditions of a typical life cycle estimated a population after 7 days of higher than 100 CFU/g (Colony Forming Units/g). Those for the worst 10% of retail temperatures gave a population of higher than 10 to the power 9 CFU/g. The need for appropriate HACCP and microbial inhibitors is emphasised. G.R.S.
