Division Interpretation of the test resultsF1

The limits given refer to each sample unit tested.

The test results demonstrate the microbiological quality of the process tested.

E. coli in shelled and shucked products of cooked crustaceans and molluscan shellfish:

• satisfactory, if all the values observed are ≤ m,

• acceptable, if a maximum of c/n values are between m and M, and the rest of the values observed are ≤ m,

• unsatisfactory, if one or more of the values observed are > M or more than c/n values are between m and M.

Coagulase-positive staphylococci in shelled and cooked crustaceans and molluscan shellfish:

• satisfactory, if all the values observed are ≤ m,

• acceptable, if a maximum of c/n values are between m and M, and the rest of the values observed are ≤ m,

• unsatisfactory, if one or more of the values observed are > M or more than c/n values are between m and M.
