Abstract
Provided are methods for rapid detection of microbial contaminants in fresh foods, involving obtaining a product sample (preferably at or near the time of harvest of the product), applying, prior to any chilling of the sample or the product, an amount of a enrichment medium sufficient to cover the sample surfaces to provide a non-chilled sample for incubation, incubating the non-chilled sample for a time period and at a temperature sufficient to allow for amplification and enrichment of a non-cold-shocked target microbe, followed by recovering all or a portion of the enrichment media, concentrating the target microbes from the recovered enrichment medium, and detecting the concentrated target microbes.
