The objective of this study was to determine the inactivation of non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serotypes in comparison with O157 STEC in commercially produced, shelf-stable lemon and lime juices. The present validation tests confirmed that storage of the juices containing preservatives at room temperatures (22 degrees C) for 3 days (72 h) ensures a >6-log reduction of 026, 045, 0103, 0111, 0121, 0145, and O157 STEC. These results demonstrate that non-O157 STEC had survival abilities comparable to those of E. coli O157:H7 strains in acidic food products such as lemon and lime juices (pH 2.5 +/- 0.1); therefore, the storage conditions deemed to inactivate E. coli O157:H7 similarly inactivate the non-O157 serotypes.
