Enumeration Test

Test Description

This quantitative proficiency test can evaluate your testing ability for the enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae/coliforms/E. coli in beef.

Beef is consumed in large quantities globally, fuelled by a global population and reducing cost of production. This can put strain on international supply chains, which can lead to poor storage or production practises resulting in risks for the consumer that must be mitigated through effective testing measures.

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.

Proficiency testing activities from Fapas can challenge your testing arrangement in a similar fashion to your routine testing arrangement. This can result in direct comparisons from which to provide quick and concise improvements from which to ensure high quality testing abilities.

Fapas Food Microbiology proficiency test samples combine the test organisms into real food matrices or swabs, together with background flora to fully represent real-world samples.
