Summary

The fate of S. enteritidis in grated carrots stored in air, modified atmosphere and vacuum at 4 °C was investigated with the coexistence or not of Lactobacillus sp. The population of S. enteritidis survived in all cases despite the presence of Lactobacillus sp. and irrespective of the size of its inoculum. Organic acids and mainly lactic acid, act as an additional hurdle to control the pathogen, under both aerobic and modified atmosphere packaging storage conditions.
