Report of the 1977 Microbiological Data Collection Program.

Abstract

This is the sixth and final in a series of reports which present the results of food microbiological testing (except fresh dairy products) performed by official Department of Defense Medical Laboratories, 1972-77. The program was designed and operated by the Department of Information Sciences, under the direction of the Food Hygiene Division, Letterman Army Institute of Research, utilizing in-house resources and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory computer facilities. A total of nearly 6500 samples were analyzed. Only a small percentage of the samples yielded potential pathogens. The data reported will be invaluable in the establishment of microbial standards for food items. (Author)
