ABSTRACT
Roast beef, turkey breast, pastrami, corned beef and pickle and pimento loaf were obtained from delicatessens in eight Gainesville (FL) supermarkets. A total of 80 samples were analyzed for total aerobic counts (APC at 35 and 20 C), yeasts and molds, fecal streptococci, Staphylococcus aureus , Clostridium peifringens , total coliforms, fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli and Salmonella . No Salmonella was recovered from any samples and only one sample contained C. peifringens . S. aureus was recovered from 12.5% of the samples at levels less than 1 log/g and E. coli was found in 11.3% of the samples. All samples contained fecal streptococci and 73.8% contained coliforms. APCs (35 C) were highest in corned beef and pastrami samples with mean counts of 6.75 and 6.91 logs/g, respectively; roast beef samples had lowest APCs with a mean count of 4.84 logs/g. High APCs and coliform counts in many samples indicate a need for improved sanitation procedures at the processor and retail levels.
