Summary

Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, serotype 4b, and Yersinia enterocolitica from vacuum-packaged pork were inoculated onto fresh pork chops. Survival and growth were determined in different atmospheres at 4 deg C during 35 days. Atmospheres were gas mixtures, vacuum and air. In air L. monocytogenes and Y. enterocolitica grew slower than psychrotrophic spoilage flora. In gas atmospheres, Y. enterocolitica grew at the same rate as psychrotrophic spoilage flora and L. monocytogenes grew more slowly.
