In total, three experimental trials were examined for each pathogen, and the log-linear with tail and Weibull models were accepted in all cases (100%) for L. monocytogenes and S. enterica, respectively. For L. monocytogenes, the log-linear and biphasic models were excluded because in one experimental trial (Cacciatore) the fit of the first model, based on the LoF, was not accepted whereas the fit of the second model was ambiguous in two cases (Cacciatore and Milano).
