Abstract
The United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspecti on Service has initiated the National Microbiological Baseline Data Co llection Programs to determine the prevalence and levels of selected b acteria on meat and poultry slaughtered under federal inspection. This paper reviews the methodology and results of the first completed stud y on samples collected from steer and heifer carcasses. Potential appl ications for this type of testing are discussed.
