Water Microbiological Specification for Food Processing
Started by JorgeCompres, Apr 17 2013 01:34 PM
Hi!
I work for a food proccesing industry and we need the microbiological parameters of the source of water (in our case: river) to validate that we are not using a contaminated water.
Anyways we have a water treatment plant but we still need the specifications
Thank you in advance!

Glove Dip Station filled with water and chlorine - is this normal?
OPP Packaging leavening milky residue when in contact with water
Reusable Water Bottles on plant floor
Specifications for Micro Testing of Water used in Food Production
Water Concentration recommended for a cooling bath using Sodium hypochlorite 12.5%

Definitiely zero coliform.

Depending on the regulations in your area, treated water should meet all the standards for potable water. Your test should Mirror the test done by the local municipality. Samples should be verified through accredited labs and tested for Microorganisms, Disinfectants, Byproducts, Coliforms, E.Coli, Inorganic & Organic Chemicals ......to name a few.
Here is a link to the EPA's National Drinking Water Regulations in the US - Hope it can help you out a bit.

Dear JorgeCompres,
There are many drinking water standards.
3 popular ones are WHO, EC, US EPA. current issues (AFAIK) attached below –
