Bio-Mapping of Microbial Indicators to Establish Statistical Process Control Parameters in a Commercial Beef Processing Facility.

In this study, a clear trend for all indicator microorganisms for most of the different carcass regions sampled was observed with microbial reductions from pre-evisceration until final interventions, followed by an increment during chilling and fabrication.

Statistical differences between sampling points for all carcass locations (p < 0.001) followed an overall trend with higher values at pre- and post-evisceration with a continuous decrease until final interventions with a slight increase in counts during the chilling process and a final increase after fabrication.
