Microbiological Standards and Handling Codes for Chilled and Frozen Foods. A Review

AUTOR(ES)

Elliott, R. Paul

RESUMO

The usefulness of microbiological standards for frozen foods is now a controversy in the trade and scientific literature. Most reviewers have given arguments both for and against, and have concluded that they should be applied with great caution. Such standards have the advantage of putting questions of safety on a convenient numerical basis. Canadian workers have reported that promulgation of standards has invariably raised the hygienic level of the products controlled.
