In a previous study, Wigmann et al. (2015)
have found that Penicillium glabrum, Penicillium polonicum, Penicillium
commune, Penicillium solitum and Penicillium crustosumwere
the main species associated with spoilage (visible mycelia) of frozen chicken nuggets. In addition, these fungi have been isolated
from raw materials used in the manufacture of frozen chicken
nuggets, such as predust and breader flours (Wigmann, 2015).
