Small meat processing facilities often purchase beef sub-primals for ground beef production that have not previously been tested for shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC). The use of antimicrobial interventions may offer a method to minimize the risk of STEC but may result in a change of quality attributes. Three types of antimicrobials using three application techniques were tested to evaluate aerobic plate counts and surface color on ground beef.
