Thermal Inactivation of Salmonella in Pâté Made from Chicken Liver

Cooking may reduce the potential risk of salmonellosis associated with liver pâté. A 5-log reduction was achieved when inoculated pâté was cooked to an internal temperature of ≥73.8°C. A 5-log reduction was achieved when pâté was made with inoculated liver fried for >8 min at 140°C. Findings of this study may be useful for establishing cooking guidelines for liver and...
