Regulation of FDA RI No. 13 Year 2019 on Maximum Limit of Microbial Contamination

The maximum level requirement of microbiological and chemical contaminant in food are regulated in the Regulation of the Chairperson of FDA No. … Year 2019 on Microbiological Criteria in Food. Due to some regulation development from other countries regarding the maximum microbiological contaminant requirement; and that certain requirements from the regulation are not applicable, FDA has finished amending the requirement of microbiological contaminant in Annex 1 of the regulation and will revoke this Annex 1 and replace it with the new Regulation of FDA RI on Maximum Limit of Microbial Contamination.This draft regulates and specifies the microbiological criteria:
The type of food;
The type of microorganism (s) and the microbiological limit (m, M); and
How to control it by guiding the sampling plan to the laboratory test defining the number of sample units to be taken (n), the size of analytical unit and where appropriate, and the acceptance number (c).

As this new regulation is issued, therefore the previous regulation regarding the requirement of microbiological contaminant and microbiological criteria in food is declared to be invalid.
