Requirement for micro testing of chocolate under FDA or GMP status?
I am the QC Manager at a chocolate facility that had just started production recently. Now my question is are the standard microbiological testing that needs to be done for the FDA or to be GMP status? I know environmental testing is a requirement but I'm not finding anything for microbiological.
Thank you!
Hi Cwanger,
We receive a of variety of chocolates for making cakes and on all the Certificate of Analysis from different companies, I see the below microorganisms are always tested on the chocolates:
E.Coli
Salmonella
Coliforms
Aerobic Plate Count
Yeast & Mold
Hope this leads you closer to your answer.
