TI  - Microbiological Testing Results of Cooked Diced Chicken and Pasteurized Egg 
      Products Purchased for United States Federal Nutrition Assistance Programs, 
      2012-2018.

AB  - The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) purchases cooked diced chicken, 
      pasteurized liquid whole eggs, and pasteurized dried egg mix for federal 
      nutrition assistance programs. Purchases are made from establishments that have 
      met the financial and technical requirements to become AMS-approved vendors. 
      Cooked diced chicken is tested for the presence of Salmonella and Listeria 
      monocytogenes, and for levels of aerobic plate count (APC) organisms, coliforms, 
      and generic Escherichia coli (GEC). Of 3668 samples collected from October 2012 
      through September 2018, none were positive for Salmonella, 3 (0.8%) were positive 
      for L. monocytogenes, 8 (0.22%) exceeded the APC critical limit (CL) of 1000 
      colony-forming units (CFUs)/mL, 15 (0.41%) exceeded the coliform CL of 50 CFU/mL, 
      and 5 (0.14%) exceeded the GEC CL of 10 CFU/mL. Pasteurized liquid whole egg and 
      pasteurized dried egg mix are tested for the presence of Salmonella and for 
      levels of APC and CL. Of 984 pasteurized liquid whole egg samples collected from 
      October 2012 through September 2018, 1 (0.10%) was positive for Salmonella, 29 
      (2.5%) exceeded the APC CL, and 4 (0.41%) exceeded the coliform CL. Of 380 
      pasteurized dried egg mix samples collected during this period, none was positive 
      for Salmonella, none exceeded the APC CL, and 3 (0.79%) exceeded the coliform CL. 
      All production lots from which samples found to contain pathogens or to exceed 
      indicator organism CLs were identified and rejected for purchase by AMS. These 
      data suggest that cooked diced chicken and pasteurized egg products produced for 
      federal nutrition assistance programs are done so under effective food safety 
      systems.
