Hello all, I work for small Ready-to-Drink beverage co-packer. We make both alcoholic and non-alcoholic RTD beverages in 355 mL cans. I'm new at this facility and have been reviewing their micro testing limits and I have a question around the Yeast and Mould limits. Currently they are set at <10 CFU internally for finished goods. However, some of our customers have provided their own product specification sheets with limits of <1000 CFU. Can anyone advise on what resources I can reference for limits?
I've looked at FDA guidelines, Health Canada, Ontario Public Health and Alberta Health Services and am not able to come up with any thing helpful.
Thanks in advance.
