Article Synopsis
- A study sampled 523 chilled beef and lamb carcasses from South Australia to assess the microbiological quality of meat for domestic consumption.
- Findings showed mean aerobic viable counts (AVCs) were lower in beef from very small plants (VSPs) compared to larger abattoirs, but E. coli prevalence was significantly higher in samples from abattoirs.
- The results aim to help the controlling authority improve meat hygiene practices and align production methods with national safety standards.
