Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice on food safety supervision and sampling information (Issue 1, 2024).
Among them, the mung bean sorbet (bulk weighing, Siweiwang and graphic trademark, 2023 10 10) produced by Hangzhou Siweiwang Food *** sold by Lishuiguan No. 2 Vice-Food Store has been tested by Ningbo Customs Technology Center and does not meet the national food safety standards. The test result of the total number of colonies in this batch of products was 17×10⁴cfu/g、1.1×10⁷cfu/g、2.6×10⁶cfu/g、3.6×10⁴cfu/g、4.3 10 cfu g, the standard values are n=5, c=2, m=10000, m=100000cfu g.
It is understood that the total number of colonies is an indicator of microorganisms to reflect the hygienic status of food. The reason for the total number of colonies exceeding the standard may be the high initial number of colonies of the raw and auxiliary materials used by the manufacturer, or it may be that the sanitary conditions are not strictly controlled during the production and processing process, and it may also be related to the poor sealing of product packaging and improper control of storage and transportation conditions.
