Role and Contribution
Participant 5 leads WP 2 and contributes to the WP1, WP2, WP5 and WP6. The contribution
comprises the following objectives of the project:
- Modelling the effect of dynamic storage conditions on meat pathogens and
spoilage bacteria.
- Validation of existing models targeted on specific meat products.
- Collecting basic data on prevalence/concentration of pathogens and spoilage
organisms as basis for proper risk assessment.
- Combining validated pathogen growth models with data on prevalence/concentration,
dose-response realtionship, etc.
- Establishment of and updating of an internetsite
- Evaluation and assessing industry acceptance of the TTI
- Identification of consumer response.
