Meat can be transported at temperatures higher than the current maximum of 7°C without causing additional bacterial growth.

A total of 645 pig carcases were randomly selected and sampled at fourteen slaughterhouses between January and May 2013.

European Commission published Decision 2013/652/EU on the monitoring and reporting of antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and commensal bacteria.
