a

Consisted of 60% pork and 40% beef, and the fat content was <18%.

b

Meat was formed into meatballs (ca. 3 by 3 by 2.5 cm).

c

The temperature was measured in the direct environment of the product or was the setting of the device used.

d

According to the manufacturer's instructions.

e

Simulated pasteurization process (heating to 72 to 74°C, hold for 1 min, and immediate chilling on ice).

f

In a customary oven bag.

g

PBS was used as a substitute for water. For virus recovery the entire sample (including the PBS) was used.

h
