Objective In the meat sector, the BSE crisis and the recurring food poisoning cases have undermined public confidence on industrial meat producing systems. Thus, consumers are turning to "traditional" products, such as dry sausages. Small producers experience technical and financial difficulties in complying with official food safety regulations. So, it is crucial to give traditional producers the means to produce safe products, as it is the only way to insure the survival of local economies. The project evaluates the safety of traditional sausages via directed producers to the consumers and then proposes solutions to improve it via directed microbial ecology combined with HACCP. Results of the project will lead to the elaboration of a guide of good hygienic practice dedicated to the producers and tithe establishment of recommendations to European consumers.
