# The Minced Meat and Meat Preparations (Hygiene) Regulations 1995, Paragraph 5


In the case of category (b) above, if the results of tests on five consecutive samples show an incidence of samples which produce results above the lower threshold but at or below the upper threshold of above 2 in 5, the quality shall be considered unacceptable. However, where this occurs only in the case of aerobic mesophile bacteria, the occupier may consider submitting another sample from the same batch for further microbiological examination for aerobic mesophile bacteria.
