Microbes  in Finished Products

When plants and animals origin raw materials are to be used to manufacture foods products, it is important to ensure that the raw materials are of accepted level of bioburden and free from pathogens. As food products may also get contaminated by pathogens from human or from the environment during production, processing or preparation, it is imperative that the principles of hygiene and sanitation are practiced all the way through the manufacturing processes.

Food products which are allowed to  contain certain level of bioburden, should be routinely tested for total counts and specified indicator  microbial contaminants such as  for Shigella,  Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus  aureus

Permitted level of microbial load varies with type of products and there are guidelines that can be referred to for a safe microbial level of the products. The food products must also be absent from indicator microbial contaminants .
