F2Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/229 of 7 February 2019 amending Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs as regards certain methods, the food safety criterion for Listeria monocytogenes in sprouted seeds, and the process hygiene criterion and food safety criterion for unpasteurised fruit and vegetable juices (ready-to-eat) (Text with EEA relevance).
The limits given refer to each sample unit tested.
The test results demonstrate the microbiological quality of the process tested.
Enterobacteriaceae in egg products:
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.]
