Summary

Hamburgers were stored in the following conditions: 100% air at 4 deg C for 15 days, 100% CO2 and 100% N2 atmospheres at 4 deg C for 60 days and -18 deg C for 90 days. The data showed that 100% air was the most toxic atmosphere to C. jejuni strains. Fresh or frozen beef hamburgers contaminated by C. jejuni could always be a principle source of human campylobacteriosis.
