Hey guys! I would like to have your recommendations about microbial limits for settle plate air monitoring. I am searchinng for concrete reference however, I cannot find a good one. What do you think guys the acceptable microbial limits? And do you know a reference? Thank you for your help.

Hello

We set our limits based on our testing done in the plant.  We monitored for 6 months and developed a limit after reviewing our results.  We continue to monitor to see if there are any spikes that would trigger an investigation and corrective action.

Hi Richard,

 

Thks for input.

 

Unfortunately data is primarily targeted to clean rooms/pharmaceuticals/sterile environments

 

Nonetheless some of the data/comments hv previously come up on this Forum in respect to aseptic food manufacturing processes/packaging / sterile filtration units.
