Test Portion Preparation
4.1 Fresh raw ground beef and dry dog food will be obtained from local retail outlets and screened for the presence of Salmonella . Naturally contaminated test portions will be used if available at sufficient levels. Alternatively, the test portions will be artificially inoculated to meet the targets of 0.2-2.0 cfu/test portion for the low and 2 – 5 cfu/test portion for the high with the appropriate concentration of a wet inoculum for raw

ground beef and a lyophilized inoculum for dry dog food.
Preparation of test portions
4.2
4.2.1 Ground beef: A liquid inoculum will be added drop-wise to a bulk quantity of ground beef for each inoculation level - 0.2-2 cfu/25g and 2-5 cfu/25g. The bulk quantity will then be mixed to achieve equal distribution of analyte throughout. The test portions will be stored at 2-8 ° C for 72-96 h prior to testing. 4.2.2 Dry dog food : A wet inoculums in pellet form will be added to a bulk quantity of dry dog food for each inoculation level - 0.2-2 cfu/25g and 2-5 cfu/25g. The bulk quantity will then be mixed to achieve equal distribution of analyte throughout. The test portions will be stored at room temperature for 2 weeks prior to testing. Samples should be checked during the stabilization period to ensure
