Type of article: Article
Summary
Beef burgers, trimmings and filter paper were inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 and subjected to a range of chemical and physical treatments. Sequential application of 2% (v/v) lactic acid and freezing (at -20 °C for 2 h) resulted in a decrease in E. coli O157:H7, but only on filter paper. All other treatments were ineffective. Currently available methods for controlling E. coli O157:H7 in beef burgers during production are ineffective. Further research is needed to develop controls for E. coli O157:H7 during beef burger production.
