Meatball safety

Hi everybody;

we are keen on consultancy of food factories and catering firms about hygiene and sanitation. one of our customers' problem is that they prepare meatball in big amounts, store the excessive of meatball in deep freeze. for small amounts of meatball this does not occur a problem. because of the risk of meatball easy spoilage we can not be sure about the way of this storage for big amounts. we want to learn the possibility of storage of meatball in deep freeze and the shelf life of products. and any other technique you know??? we can not find any literature.

thanks..

best wishes.. :)

Hello,
At 1st, i would like to question is that the meat ball cooked? or uncooked? what is the problem for store big amount of meatball in deep freeze? Any antioxidant agent?and how big ur amount? For the shelf life of frozen meat ball, you can send the meat ball to lab test if you require fast result. IF not, the company that you consult can do it by themself. As my experience, the shelf life is 2 years for frozen meatball, but sometime even the customer return after 3 years, it still stay in good condition.

I also try to find any journal or info for this problem last time but fail to get.
Hope that my infomation is helpful.
