FDA microbial standards
Can someone refer to a FDA approved chart of different food categories and the upper microbial limits of pathogens and indicators?
No products were mentioned. Some items have specific standards with included micro.specifications.
Have a look through these compilations -

(probably files com1 and ref1)
I am attaching the Bad Bug Book which may help you with it. Unfortunately I have not seen a chart with products and micro standards. If you need it to conduct a HA I would suggest looking into the food borne outbreaks trends to see what bacteria you should be most concerned with depending on your product.
