Microbiological tests to confirm quality of meat and meat products
Welcome,
Can you give what microbiological tests are performed for meats and meat products, limits and incubation temperatures ?
best regards
What kind of meat please and is this primal cuts, value added, sausage, etc
From meat, for example, a pork chop, pork neck (from what I know it will be research in the direction E.coli and Salmonella)
Finished products are hams and sausages.
So the raw that has not been value added, yes to salmonella and ecoli. You should probably test for Trichinellosis as well (parasite know to infect pork)
For the sausages and ham, salmonella and ecoli and listeria (for the ham which is technically RTE)
and the cola group designation for finished meat products at 37oC?
