ER5 Three minor points:
1. Page 97, line 39. This sentence needs
rewriting
Unable to find this page in the "flip book" .
2. Page 109, Lines 11 and 13. Spaces missing
between some words. This happens throughout
Ms.
3. Page 136, Table 3 (Supplementary). Lab 4,
Raw chicken count seems to be a high outlier. Is
there a typo?
~130 lbs of raw chicken breast was processed
for the study. Varying degrees of APC results
would be expected, although the variablity
observed is higher than typically seen.
ER6 Amended Submission:
1. Page 4, line 9 says the deli turkey was
incubated for 24-28 hours; Table 3 of package
insert says 24-30 hours, as does the
collaborative study protocol and the Table 2 on
Page 9 of the manuscript. Please clarify.
Corrected to 24-30 hours.
