Microbiological standards for food contact surface areas and food hand
Started by megadeath75, Nov 05 2008 08:59 AM
Im a microbiologist working in a food production company, im looking for an international standard or criteria for microbial hand swabs for the food handlers and also for food contact surface areas, i actually don't know which standards to follow specially for total aerobic plate count is there any international standard available i already have looked every were

Dear MAriam....
You can use the link, that arya proposed, or you can use swab test (ATP methode) to control your equipment, room and personnel hygiene.. you can make your own standard with supplier help, I using this equipment from merck, ..
The methode more fast then traditional methode (TPC). we only need ± 10 minutes to get the result..
But if you stil need traditional, first you have to decide what classroom for your standard and you can find the standard in ISO system or EU GMP (for pharmacetical)..
hope can make you clear

Dear Mariam,
AFAIK, APHA has only a standard for a clean and sanitized food surface as 100cfu / 9sq” and should be free of any pathogens.

Dear Mariam,
APHA recommends the following standards for aerobic plate count in the air of food processing areas: 90 CFU.m-3, when evaluated by the air sampler technique and 30 CFU.cm-2.week-1 when evaluated by the culture settling plate technique, using plate count agar as culture medium (14).
