In-store hygiene evaluation and its relationship with microbiological indices of some foods, sold in different retail market places in Lithuania
Poor hygiene is one of the most relevant problems in retail market, closely related with the quality and safety of the food. The aim of the work was to evaluate in-store hygiene conditions (up to 28 points) of minced meat (chicken, pork, beef and turkey meat; n=96), cold and hot smoked fish (Salmo s...
