Listeria monocytogenes was inoculated onto fresh pork and turkey slices. Inoculated and control samples were packaged under modified atmospheres (100% N2, and 20%/80% and 40%/60% CO2/O2) or air in plastic bags of low gas permeability. Samples were stored at 1 and 7C. Samples stored in air showed a similar microbiological pattern to that usually observed in fresh meat stored aerobically. Packaging under modified atmospheres extended the meat shelf-life. Bacterial growth was strongly inhibited at 1 C, particularly in samples stored under CO2/O2 enriched atmospheres. Temperature and pH were critical factors for L. monocytogenes growth. This pathogen grew only on pork (initial pH 5.3) packaged in air and stored at 7C. No L. monocytogenes growth was observed at 1 C in any atmosphere assayed. However, growth on turkey (initial pH 6.0) was marked at 7C in all atmospheres tested, while at 1C, this bacterium grew weakly only on samples stored in air.
