Coliforms
Enumeration Test
This quantitative proficiency test focusses on your testing ability for the enumeration of coliforms in beef.
Beef is consumed in large quantities across the globe. This can provide challenges for the global supply chain to cope with demand. This can lead to potentially unsafe levels of contamination occurring through poor storage practises being employed.
Coliforms are a group of bacteria found within animals and humans, usually they do not cause disease, there are a few strains including E. coli which can cause illness. As such it is important to highlight these strains, as well as the ability to quantify.
Microbiological contamination of food can cause a range of sickness symptoms, the most extreme of which can result in hospitalisation, contamination can also cause food spoilage. Contamination can result from raw ingredients, poor sanitation or hygiene practices, or inappropriate storage conditions.
