Abstract
Temperature profiles measured in 250 domestic refrigerators in Greece showed that there is a large variability in the storage conditions of domestic appliances.
Almost 10% of the measured temperature distributions had an average temperature greater than 10°C. Temperature variation in each profile indicated that estimating microbial and pathogen growth using average temperatures could lead to erroneous results.
Temperature profiles were incorporated in Monte Carlo simulations to predict pathogen and spoilage growth during storage.
Simulation results showed that there is a probability that meat products could contain levels of food pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes exceeding the relevant safety objectives before they become unacceptably spoiled.
