Hello,
My facility wants to revise our environmental monitoring program based on the sites that get swabbed pre heat treatment to our product and post heat treatment. What is a generally acceptable level for APC, EB, and Yeast/Mold for pre and post heat treatment? Would it be something around 5,000 cfu/swab or 10,000 cfu/swab? What would be the rationale behind choosing these levels?
