The following microbial standards apply to the treatment processes in § 112.54 as set forth in that section.
(a)For L. monocytogenes, Salmonella species, and E. coli O157:H7, the relevant standards in the table in this paragraph (a); or For the microorganism— The microbial standard is—
(1)L. monocytogenesNot detected using a method that can detect one colony forming unit
(CFU)per 5 gram (or milliliter, if liquid is being sampled) analytical portion.
(2)Salmonella speciesNot detected using a method that can detect three most probable numbers
(MPN)per 4 grams (or milliliter, if liquid is being sampled) of total solids.
(3)E. coli O157:H7Not detected using a method that can detect 0.3 MPN per 1 gram (or milliliter, if liquid is being sampled) analytical portion.
(b)Salmonella species are not detected using a method that can detect three MPN Salmonella species per 4 grams (or milliliter, if liquid is being sampled) of total solids; and less than 1,000 MPN fecal coliforms per gram (or milliliter, if liquid is being sampled) of total solids.
