ISO 22964 Microbiology of the Food Chain, Horizontal Method for Detection of Cronobacter Spp

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 22964 testing. ISO 22964, Cronobacter spp. Specifies a horizontal method for detection.

Subject to the limitations discussed in the introduction, this standard applies to:

• Food products and ingredients intended for human consumption and animal nutrition;
• Environmental examples in food production and food processing.

Due to the wide variety of food and feed products, this horizontal method may not be suitable in every detail for some products. In this case, different methods specific to these products can be used if absolutely necessary for legitimate technical reasons. However, every attempt should be made to apply this horizontal method as much as possible.

When this standard is reviewed later, all available information regarding the extent to which this horizontal method has been followed and, in the case of certain products, the reasons for deviations from this method will be taken into account.

Harmonization of test methods cannot be immediate and International or national standards may already exist for certain product groups that are not compatible with this horizontal method. It is hoped that when such standards are reviewed, they will be modified to conform to this document so that eventually the only remaining deviations from this horizontal method will be those necessary for well-known technical reasons.
