- A batch of turkey rolls (10 lb—approximately 4.5 Kg—each) were cooked to 165°F internal temperature in bags, opened, sliced, vacuum-packaged, and stored at 40°F. The product was expected to have a refrigerated shelf life of 50 days. However, after 40 days, the packages contained gas and approximately 107 bacterial cells/g of meat.
