Abstract
Baseline microbiological studies, seeking to take a “snapshot” of the quality or safety of product produced across the nation at a point in time, are a valuable adjunct to other sources of information on quality or safety of foods. They have been used by the Australian red meat industry as a point of reference, to promote trade, and as a starting point for further research.
