Abstract(s)

Recent changes in society’s lifestyle lead food industries to invest in the production of pre - cooked foods for an increasingly demanding consumer, who values its easiness and convenience.(Oliveira, 2009).These new eating habits increased foodborne diseases incidence which represents a public health problem (Newell et al., 2010). The main genera of bacteria responsible for foodborne diseases are: Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Vibrio, Bacillus, Clostridium, Listeria, Shigella and Campylobacter(Newell et al., 2010). To ensure the microbiological food quality, companies must implement a hazards and critical control points guidelines(Bolton & Maunsell, 2004).
