In 2015 a multi-state outbreak of salmonellosis associated with pork occurred that sickened 192 people. determined the heat resistance of six Salmonella serovars in pork meat containing curing additives. As expected, the eight Salmonella strains were more resistant to heat in pork meat than in a liquid. Of the serotypes tested, S. Potsdam was the most resistant strain in pork meat, exhibiting D-values of 4.80, 1.57 and 0.30 min, at 58 C, 60 C and 63 C, respectively (Table 3). The authors concluded that heating processes for cured pork that result in an internal temperature of 60 C for 9-10 min or 63 C for 3-4 min would be expected to provide a 7 log kill of the studied serotypes of Salmonella. found that breaded pork patties would require 106 min at 60 C for a 7 log kill, but only 2.03 min at 70 C (Table 3). also noted that Salmonella was more heat resistant in whole muscle pork than in ground pork. These studies emphasize the need to consider both the form of pork being cooked in determining cooking conditions as well as the final internal temperature necessary to inactivate Salmonella in pork products.
