Food borne pathogens are a serious cause for concern. With the potential to harm consumers, inhibiting microbial growth in food products is a driving force in the food industry today. Manufacturers need a solution to address this issue; however, manufacturers also must protect their brand consistency. Food safety solutions must not negatively impact any quality or sensory attributes. Therefore, this study looked to determine the effectiveness of the buffered vinegar in ready-to-eat meat as well as the impact it had on sensory and quality characteristics. At the duration of the study, Bactocease NV showed effectiveness against Listeria monocytogenes all while leaving sensory and quality characteristics to the brands recognized standard.
