Abstract
Selected results from a Computerized Food Microbiological Data Collection program are presented. Data are generated by 11 Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories and forwarded to a central location, coded into computer language, and entered into an existing program. As designed, the program is quite flexible, and selected retrievals for special purposes are easily accomplished. The total file contains data from over 30,000 food samples. Presented in this report are data on 810 samples of comminuted beef products, 215 samples of luncheon meats, 653 prepared sandwiches, and 1,023 delicatessen salads. Data are compared with existing microbiological criteria, if applicable. The retrieval of data from the file on such products should be useful in establishing future standards or guidelines.
