Survival of murine norovirus and F-RNA coliphage MS2 on pork during storage and retail display

► MNV and MS2 are very stable on raw meat. ► Maximum reductions for MNV and MS2 were ≤ 1.2 log PFU and GC/cm2 over 7 weeks at 2 °C. ► The viability of MS2 and MNV was not affected by the proteolytic enzymes of meat. ► MNV and MS2 are excellent surrogates for human viruses on meat.
