Beverage glasses were randomly sampled during the winter (Study I) to determine clean1 iness. During the spring, random sampling of beer glasses from one establishment o f Study I and two additional outlets was conducted (Study II). Contamination level of soft drink and wine glasses was not different (P > 0.05).
Microbial load o f beer glasses was higher than for other glasses.Beer glasses from one establishment had more (P < 0.05) contamination than those from the other units. Current operational and sanitary practices conducted at those establishments studied (except Establishment 0) are effective enough to provide acceptable cleanliness.
