Project Overview • Two Federally inspected meat processing facilities
• Edmonton, Alberta• Two time points:
• After cleaning and sanitation but prior to processing (ACS)
• During or after processing but before sanitation (PRO)
• Sampling in 2005 and 2006 for 19 months, 3 week intervals1) Comparison of environmental sampling
methods: – 5 months – Ten sampling locations:
* 5 where RAW meat was processed
* 5 where COOKED meat was handled
– Total of 720 samples

Project Overview 2) Comparison of detection methods:
– Until 100 positive and 100 negative samples collected per method
– 14 sampling locations: *7 where RAW meat was
processed*7 where COOKED meat
was handled
– Criteria for 3 methods reached after 11 samplings; 1 method required 14 samplings
3) Occurrence and Distribution of Listeria spp.– All the samples collected by SS method and
analyzed by culture method (n=820)– 19 months period
