Notes:
A Salmonella survey was conducted to determine its incidence in fresh pork sausage. Retail size samples representing different days of production were collected from 40 federally inspected plants and analyzed for the presence of salmonellae. The results obtained during the 1979 survey were compared to results obtained in a similar 1969 survey. Salmonellae were isolated from 162 of the 566 (28.6%) samples analyzed in 1969. For the samples analyzed in 1979, 74 of 603 samples (12.4%) were positive for salmonellae. The reduction of 16.2% over 1969 indicates a reduction in the incidence of Salmonella in this product for the firms tested.
