Food business owners and manufacturers know how important it is to ensure the highest quality and safety of their products. One of the key elements in this process is microbiological testing of food. At our online store, we offer a wide range of microbiological tests to help you ensure your customers' safety and compliance with current standards.
The most popular microbiological food tests
- Salmonella: Testing for Salmonella bacteria, which can cause serious illness in humans.
- Listeria monocytogenes: Testing for the presence of the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes that may cause listeriosis, a disease that is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
- Escherichia coli (E. coli): Testing for E. coli bacteria that may cause urinary tract infections and other diseases.
- Enterobacteriaceae: Testing for Enterobacteriaceae bacteria that may cause gastrointestinal infections and other diseases.
- Total microbial count: A test for the total number of microorganisms in a food sample that helps assess the overall quality of a product.
- Coagulase-positive staphylococci: Testing for the presence of coagulase-positive staphylococci that may cause skin infections and other diseases.
To select the appropriate scope of tests, we suggest reading the requirements of COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No. 2073/2005 of November 15, 2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs, available at the link: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:02005R2073-20200308&from=EN.
