The Importance of the Microbiological Quality of Ready-to-Eat Salads from a Public Health Perspective
Author(s): Coniglio MA, Faro G and Marranzano MConiglio MA, Faro G and Marranzano M
The microbiological quality of marketable ready-to-eat (RTE) salads was discussed in terms of Public Health concerns. Since RTE foods are edible without additional treatment, risks of foodborne outbreaks may be high. The initial quality and subsequent handling of these products appear to influence their microbiological safety and shelf life. The authors evaluated the microbiological quality of marketable RTE salads. A total of 100 samples of RTE mixed salads were collected from local supermarkets in Catania (Italy). The RTE packages were immediately transported to the laboratory and analyzed according to the international standard methods (ISO) for aerobic mesophilic count (AMC at 30°C), Escherichia coli, coliforms, Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. All the samples (100%) were positive for AMC (median concentrations 106-107 CFU/g), 25.00% were pos.. View More»
