a

n = number of units comprising the sample; c = number of sample units giving values between m and M.

b

c

The most recent edition of the standard shall be used.

d

The limits (m and M) shall apply only to samples taken by the destructive method. The daily mean log shall be calculated by first taking a log value of each individual test result and then calculating the mean of these log values.

e

The 50 samples shall be derived from 10 consecutive sampling sessions in accordance with the sampling rules and frequencies laid down in this Regulation.

f

The number of samples where the presence of salmonella is detected. The c value is subject to review in order to take into account the progress made in reducing the salmonella prevalence. Member States or regions having low salmonella prevalence may use lower c values even before the review.

g

This criterion shall not apply to minced meat produced at retail level when the shelf-life of the product is less then 24 hours.

h

E. coli is used here as an indicator of faecal contamination.

i

These criteria apply to mechanically separated meat (MSM) produced with the techniques referred to in paragraph 3 of Chapter III of Section V of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Interpretation of the test results U.K.

The limits given refer to each sample unit tested, excluding testing of carcases where the limits refer to pooled samples.

The test results demonstrate the microbiological quality of the process tested.

Enterobacteriaceae and aerobic colony count in carcases of cattle, sheep, goats, horses and pigs:

  • satisfactory, if the daily mean log is ≤ m,

  • acceptable, if the daily mean log is between m and M,

  • unsatisfactory, if the daily mean log is > M.

Salmonella in carcases:

  • satisfactory, if the presence of Salmonella is detected in a maximum of c/n samples,

  • unsatisfactory, if the presence of Salmonella is detected in more than c/n samples.

After each sampling session, the results of the last ten sampling sessions shall be assessed in order to obtain the n number of samples.

E. coli and aerobic colony count in minced meat, meat preparations and mechanically separated meat (MSM):

  • satisfactory, if all the values observed are ≤ m,

  • acceptable, if a maximum of c/n values are between m and M, and the rest of the values observed are ≤ m,

  • unsatisfactory, if one or more of the values observed are > M or more than c/n values are between m and M.

[F7Campylobacter spp. in poultry carcases of broilers:

  • satisfactory, if a maximum of c/n values are > m,

c

The most recent edition of the standard shall be used.

d

The criterion shall not apply to products intended for further processing in the food industry.

e

E. coli is used here as an indicator for the level of hygiene.

f

For cheeses which are not able to support the growth of E. coli, the E. coli count is usually the highest at the beginning of the ripening period, and for cheeses which are able to support the growth of E. coli, it is normally at the end of the ripening period.

g

Excluding cheeses where the manufacturer can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the competent authorities, that the product does not pose a risk of staphylococcal enterotoxins.

h

Only ice creams containing milk ingredients.

i

Parallel testing for Enterobacteriaceae and [F4Cronobacter spp. shall be conducted, unless a correlation between these micro-organisms has been established at an individual plant level. If Enterobacteriaceae are detected in any of the product samples tested in such a plant, the batch has to be tested for Cronobacter spp. It shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the competent authority whether such a correlation exists between Enterobacteriaceae and Cronobacter spp.]
