Abstract
Chilled and deep‐frozen broiler carcasses were examined for total counts of salmonellae using pooled samples taken from 76 batches each of five birds. By means of a most probable number technique (MPN) it was found that counts expressed/100 g of skin or /500 ml of thaw water varied between < 2 and 1400 with 90% being < 100. Irradiation of carcasses using a dose of 250 krad was found to be highly effective in destroying salmonellae whether the birds had been chilled or deep‐frozen.Keywords
