Because reheating at consumer level can reduce the risk posed
by certain pathogens and L. monocytogenes in particular, 38 products
(11 type 1, 10 type 2 and 17 type 3) were reheated according to
the instructions on the label. During reheating, temperatures were
monitored and the P-value (eq. (1) or eq. (2)) was calculated. Seven
products consisted of two components and for each of these
components the temperature was monitored separately.
