Abstract
The results of a bacteriological survey of commercially packed tuna, chicken, turkey, and beef frozen pies on a nationwide scale is reported. Samples were collected at the retail store level and examined for total count, enterococci, coliform and Salmonella type organisms. It is proposed that the total count be used as a sanitary index. An initial bacteriological standard of 100,000 organisms per gram is recommended on a tentative basis.Keywords
