Notes:
Ground beef packaged and stored with carbon dioxide-generating reagent packets made from (1) microporous plastic film or (2) non-woven cellulose cloth had significantly (p〈0.01) lower bacterial counts than ground meat packaged and stored without packets. There was no significant difference (p〉0.05) in bacterial counts of samples stored with the 2 types of packets. Samples with in-package generated carbon dioxide atmospheres had approximately 2–3 days additional shelf-life before spoilage.
