Enumeration Test

Test Description

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.

Within this quantitative proficiency test, your testing ability for the enumeration of yeasts and moulds in beef will be evaluated.

Yeasts and moulds can form due to poor storage practises, which can be rife across a global and complex supply chain. As such your testing ability must be accurate and of high quality, as well as providing this to your customers and regulators alike.

Beef is consumed globally, across a range of different growing practices. This can result in a range of potential contamination events that must be highlighted through your effective testing arrangement, which must therefore be safeguarded through robust quality assurance activities.

Proficiency testing activities from Fapas can highlight areas of improvement from which to achieve the high quality testing abilities required to provide the testing ability regulators and your customers expect. 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.
